Does a directory service exist listing Coventry BS panel conveyancers in Blackwell on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Blackwell. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My offer on a property in Blackwell has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Blackwell. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with UBS?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Blackwell conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Blackwell.

The deeds to my property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Blackwell 4 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title deeds to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

How does conveyancing in Blackwell differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Blackwell come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Blackwell tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Blackwell or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Blackwell is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Blackwell are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Blackwell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Blackwell may determine 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.

Some months ago I was advised by my lender that their approved conveyancers operate no completion no charge basis for conveyancing in Blackwell. I had a purchase abort yet the lawyers have invoiced for search fees! They say the fees are nothing to do with their fees!

in offering "no sale no fee" Blackwell conveyancing firms are foregoing their fees for any work conducted. We should point out that this is NOT an insurance scheme. you will still required to reimburse any disbursements that the solicitor has outlayed for you such as Blackwell local authority searches
