My IFA has asked me for my Barlaston and Tittensor solicitor’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have e-mailed my local Barlaston and Tittensor office but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Barlaston and Tittensor lawyer . Most Barlaston and Tittensor law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from TSB as we wish to carry out improvements to our home in Barlaston and Tittensor. Do we need to select a high street Barlaston and Tittensor solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
TSB do not ordinarily appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Barlaston and Tittensor conveyancer on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative 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 Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I currently have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Barlaston and Tittensor. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Aldermore?
Your original mortgage agreement with Aldermore will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel lawyer.
The deeds to our house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know precisely where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you can purchase or dispose of your property without a hitch. Where copies can’t be found, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Barlaston and Tittensor is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Barlaston and Tittensor are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Barlaston and Tittensor you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Barlaston and Tittensor may decide 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.

My aim is to purchase a garden flat in Barlaston and Tittensor. Conveyancing solicitor is waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance schedule. This afternoon I was informed that the owner needs to send the insurance paperwork for the flat above in addition. Why would my property lawyer need to see the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been in hold for the previous 4 weeks…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor to discover Conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the whole premises - which is clearly better. You should double check with your property lawyer but it would seem that your solicitor is seeking to establish that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated for lack of insurance.
