I am purchasing a right to buy a flat in Callerton. Can I do my own conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Callerton you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company'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. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Callerton.
is it true that all Callerton solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
The mortgage over my property is with TSB for my property in Callerton. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?
You must advise TSB prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. It may be that TSB will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel solicitor.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Callerton agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Callerton. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with RBS?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Callerton conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the RBS approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many buyers would apply for a home loan with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Callerton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
What does commercial conveyancing in Callerton cover?

For example, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the assignment of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of tenancies.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Callerton. I happened to land on a web site which looks to be the ideal solution If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via email that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
