Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Banstead

Me and my fiance are planning to acquire a 3 bedroom apartment in Banstead with a mortgage. We like our Banstead lawyer, however the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or keep our Banstead solicitor and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. We consider that this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Banstead conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I am buying a property in Banstead. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nationwide be concerned?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nationwide your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Banstead.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Banstead. Conveyancing was a necessary evil 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 Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Banstead for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

I am just shy of a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in Banstead , but I still want to exchange. Do I have options?

One option is to try and accept a lower deposit. Many vendors will accept a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
