My fiance and I decided to purchase a 1 bedroom apartment in Jarrow with a loan from Barclays Direct.We like our Jarrow conveyancing practitioner but Barclays Direct says his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Barclays Direct panel solicitor or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Barclays Direct use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Barclays Direct solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
A relative informed me that in purchasing a property in Jarrow there may be a number of restrictions prohibiting external alterations to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Jarrow which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Jarrow should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
My wife and I purchasing a victorian detached house in Jarrow. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include investigations to ascertain if these works are allowed?
Your conveyancer will check the deeds as conveyancing in Jarrow can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of changes or require the permission of another owner. Some extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Jarrow. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Shortly after, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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.
