Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Aldermore Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Audlem?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
When it comes to lenders such as Skipton, do Audlem lawyers face a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
We had chosen solicitors locally in Audlem on the TSB solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for dealing with the TSB mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by TSB?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by TSB but by your Audlem solicitor. Some firms on the TSB panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Audlem. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
Just acquired a detached house in Audlem , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Audlem conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the post completion formalities are dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Audlem registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises so registration formalities is not always primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am purchasing my first flat in Audlem with a loan from Aldermore. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Audlem is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Audlem are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Audlem you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Audlem may ascertain 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 property.
