I am getting a mortgage with Santander. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Bootle. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
My son is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Bootle with a mortgage from Santander. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Santander conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Santander conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Do I need to pop into the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Bootle so that I can attend their offices if necessary.
Most conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders conduct their work through the post, e-mail or over the phone. This enables them to carry out the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in the country. However you should see if you have the option of attending the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if needed.
There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in Bootle but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Bootle
Do not opt for the lowest Bootle conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
I am buying a terrace house in Bootle. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to see if these alterations are allowed?
Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Bootle will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of works or necessitated the consent of another owner. Certain extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Bootle. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Bootle.

We have just had an offer accepted on our first home in Bootle, and need to get solicitors lined up. I have used the numerous rating tools and the fee estimates are from all over the England and Wales. Is it critical to have a Bootle solicitor local to your potential property? We are happy to do all the communicating electronically, but I am thinking at some stage we may be required to visit the solicitor's office to sign contracts?
The solicitor does not have to be in Bootle, but choosing local means that you can go in if required, by way of example, if a signature is immediately necessary. Also, a Bootle solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local solicitor) with them, which should help smooth the process.
