My conveyancer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Billesdon. The other side have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer has advised that he must check that the bank is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?

Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the lender are the client.

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Billesdon for our home move. Our broker has since advised us that our bank Barclays won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

Banks tend to restrict either the category or the volume of conveyancing practices on their member panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have limited the number of firms they allow to act for them. Be aware that Barclays have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Barclays Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains mixed views about the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Billesdon only carry out one or two conveyances per annum.

Some major banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

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 today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Billesdon lawyer 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.

My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Billesdon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon. Having lived in Billesdon for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I am looking to sell my house. My past lawyers have shut. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Billesdon if that makes things easier.
