I am purchasing a right to buy a flat in Snaith. Conveyancing solicitors are said to be ‘a necessary evil’ but can I do it myself?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Snaith you will have to appoint a solicitor on your bank's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Snaith. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Snaith?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Snaith. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Snaith. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to TSB where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Snaith.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Snaith. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am buying a new build house in Snaith with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
As co-executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a property in Cardiff but reside in Snaith. My conveyancer (approximately 300 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a stat dec before completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Snaith who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Snaith based
