Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Warrington

My uncle passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Warrington. The house had a small mortgage remaining of approximately £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Lloyds, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?

If you plan to re-mortgage then Lloyds will require that you use a conveyancer on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

Does a directory service exist listing Santander panel solicitors in Warrington on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings viewable online. Where you are looking for a Warrington solicitor on the Santander please use our tool.

I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Warrington bank branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Warrington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company approved list, they must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Warrington. My mortgage broker suggested a property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Nationwide 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 Nationwide 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.

Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one reason for delay in Warrington conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Warrington.

Am I better off to appoint a Warrington conveyancing lawyer based in the vicinity that I am buying? I have an old university friend who can execute the conveyancing however they are based 400kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a high street Warrington conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were happy that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Warrington conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.

Much to my surprise my property lawyer in Warrington is asking me for personal identification documents saying that this is part of his legal duty as a solicitor on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. Can this be correct?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require Warrington conveyancing solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer is right that the mortgage company also require certain documents to be viewed. If a you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the mortgage company's UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements
