We see that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Nettleham?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Nettleham.

Me and my partner are buying a property in Nettleham. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

Can you point me to a directory of RBS panel conveyancers in Nettleham on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

No. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings viewable online. If you are seeking to appoint a Nettleham lawyer on the RBS please use our tool.

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Nettleham building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Nettleham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Provided that the solicitor is on the bank approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Will my lawyer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Nettleham.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Nettleham. Some people will buy a house in Nettleham, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Nettleham. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the owner to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect reply. The buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Nettleham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
