My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Settle. I need to find out if they are on the Barclays Direct conveyancing panel. Could you help?
The first thing you should do is e-mail your lawyer and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should call Barclays Direct who may be able to assist.
I used Arc property Solicitors several years ago for my conveyancing in Settle. Now, I need the files however the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?
You should contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Settle of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously instructed, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Settle is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Settle are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Settle you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Settle may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
