We wanted to use a property lawyer in Rednal for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Barclays won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies on the whole restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few banks have limited the amount of firms they allow to represent them. You should note that Barclays have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Barclays Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are mixed opinions regarding the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Rednal only conduct a couple conveyances a year.
We are planning to move property in November. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Rednal. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your estate agent however this should only occur after the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. You should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Rednal or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Rednal.
I am purchasing a terrace house in Rednal. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to see if these alterations are allowed?
Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Rednal will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain alterations or necessitated the consent of another owner. Some additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
We had appointed solicitors locally in Rednal on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate fee for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Rednal property lawyer. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Rednal I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rednal in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

As co-executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a property in Swansea but I am based in Rednal. My lawyer (approximately 250 miles from merequires that I execute a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Rednal who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Rednal based
