My wife and I are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Bishopsworth but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner of three thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however TSB are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
Any conveyancer being on a TSB conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform TSB of any changes to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to notify the reduction to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Bishopsworth.
My conveyancer has informed me that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Bishopsworth?
The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
is it true that all Bishopsworth solicitor firms on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Bishopsworth property lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, 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 Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
