I am not well enough to travel far from Aylsham. Please clarify why all Aylsham solicitors are not on all bank panels?

A decade ago most lenders had an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the conveyancers on your panel. Consequently, lenders have since requiredmore data from law firms regarding their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the criteria of volume of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.

Can you help? My Aylsham lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toconduct Aylsham conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. Is my solicitor correct?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Aylsham conveyancing searches.

We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Aylsham on the Leeds Building Society solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental fee for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Leeds Building Society but by your Aylsham lawyer. Some firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

I'm in the throws of looking at houses in Aylsham and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.

You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Aylsham lawyer on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your TSB mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your TSB mortgage has been paid off.

Various web forums that I have come across warn that are a common reason for stalling in Aylsham conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
