is it true that all Caistor solicitor firms on the Skipton conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the CLC.

I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Caistor solicitor on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Lloyds 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 Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Lloyds mortgage has been paid off.

I am purchasing my first flat in Caistor with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this deal as it could impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have been advised by three or four local estate agents in Caistor to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than another?

We refuse to offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Caistor what are the most common lease defects?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Caistor. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain sections are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the property

You could encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. HSBC Bank, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and TSB all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

Caistor Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Questions you should consider before buying

    How much is the annual maintenance fee and ground rent? Where a Caistor lease has no more than eighty years it will affect the value of the property. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with the length of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. For most Caistorlease extensions you would be required to have owned the property for two years in order to be legally able to extend the lease.

Builders have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've sought a quote from them. They are almost three hundred pounds less expensive than my own Caistor lawyer. What's the catch?

Developers often have lists of property lawyers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s paperwork and solicitor. As many developers offer an inducement to choose a preferred conveyancer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not opting for the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove hesitant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the situation you should remain with your local Caistor property lawyer.
