We are selling our house in Aston on Trent. Does my lawyer need to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
I have been told by my solicitor that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Aston on Trent?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Lloyds. Is it usual for Lloyds to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Aston on Trent is approved on their conveyancing panel? Lloyds have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I've read lots of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Aston on Trent solicitor - who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Aston on Trent postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Aston on Trent.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Aston on Trent?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Aston on Trent. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Aston on Trent. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Aston on Trent - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

A licensed conveyancer handled my conveyancing in Aston on Trent three years past and was holding my title documents but has since been shut down – how do I retreive these?
Deeds, as such, no longer exist as most homes in Aston on Trent are archived digitally at Land Registry. If you need to establish ownership or are disposing of or refinancing your property lawyer will need to obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.

The CLC will let you know what information they have and any additional information they may need before they are in a position to identify and send the documents to you.
