Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Calcot

I can't travel far from Calcot. Please explain the reason why all Calcot conveyancers are not on all lender panels?

Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It led to mortgage companies culling a number of firms from their official list of approved conveyancers .

My husband and I intend to remortgage our maisonette in Calcot with UBS. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the UBS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his entitlement to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your UBS conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to UBS. This is solely used to protect UBS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of UBS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Calcot. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could still be with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Calcot relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a purpose built apartment in Calcot with a residential mortgage from Chelsea Building Society.We use our Calcot conveyancing solicitor but Chelsea Building Society advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Chelsea Building Society panel solicitor or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Chelsea Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Chelsea Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Chelsea Building Society solicitor panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society
