I am getting a mortgage with Halifax. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Broseley. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am buying a newly built flat in Broseley and my solicitor is advising me that she has to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the developer. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to sign contracts and I don't want to delay the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when buying a residence in Broseley? or Apparently there is an ancient law that could mean that owners of property living in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs to the chancel within the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Broseley?
Unless a previous acquisition of the property completed post 12 October 2013 you can expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Broseley to continue to advocate a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Edwardian house in Broseley. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Broseley and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

We are about to acquiring a property in Broseley. Can the lawyer keep the amount we are are buying for confidential from the likes of Nestoria. How could this be achieved ?
HMLR by statute are required to reveal price sold data on a register of the title for residential properties nationwide which includes homes in Broseley. The Title Register is a public document, so HMLR would be breaching their statutory duty excluded certain properties such as the property in Broseley.
You can ask HM Land Registry to hide the price paid data however the answer would be a No.
