IfI was to buy a straightforward housein Bedale mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Bedale?
Any savings you would gain will be limited to the costs for searches. The conveyancer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your vendors lawyer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it will not be a lot.
Is it the case that all Bedale CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
I have paid off my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Bedale conveyancer on the Principality panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Principality 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 Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, 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 Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Bedale bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Bedale conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Bedale. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as you normally would because all rents and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
