Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bedlington

My husband and I are intending to purchase a 3 bedroom flat in Bedlington with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Bedlington lawyer, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or keep our Bedlington lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This seems very unfair; can we not insist that the bank use our Bedlington property lawyer ?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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. A further alternative is for your Bedlington conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My wife and I are acquiring a newly built duplex in Bedlington and my lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the builder. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Bedlington. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Bedlington?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Bedlington conveyancing practitioner 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:

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

Yorkshire BS have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Bedlington has been agreed to, what happens next?

The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Yorkshire BS or your broker and finish off any outstanding paperwork. Yorkshire BS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. Yorkshire BS will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Bedlington.

Bedlington Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Queries before Purchasing

    How much is the ground rent and service charge? Can you inform me if there are any major works in the planning that will likely increase the maintenance costs? Plenty Bedlington leasehold flats will have a service charge for maintenance of the block set by the landlord. If you buy the property you will have to pay this contribution, normally periodically during the year. This may vary from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large common areas. There will also be a ground rent to be met annual, ordinarily this is not a exorbitant amount, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to check as occasionally it can be prohibitively expensive.

There are numerous houses in Bedlington on unadopted roads. My partner and I are buying one such property. What are the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a property on a private road?

Bedlington conveyancing lawyers will be used to dealing propertieson unadopted roads. Your lawyer should investigate title to find any rights or liabilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents pay into for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and look better than publicly adopted.
