We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Boncath who is on the Santander solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Santander . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Boncath.
I am considering applying for a Co-operative mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Boncath with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Co-operative ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Co-operative will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
When it comes to lenders such as HSBC, do Boncath lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
We had instructed solicitors locally in Boncath on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for the legal aspects of the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Boncath solicitor. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Virgin Money are being problematic. The Boncath solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Boncath
-
Please supply a car parking plan. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
