This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Calverton. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Calverton?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Calverton. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Calverton conveyancing solicitors were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from TSB?
There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB done the survey? Have you advised TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am buying a property in Calverton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB 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 TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to TSB where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Calverton.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Calverton is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Calverton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Calverton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Calverton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My step-son is embarking on her first house purchase, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. After the seller agreed the offer on the flat we contacted the mortgage institution to move forward with his. I was very surprised to hear that mortgage companies do not accept all lawyer, they have to be on a list, is this right?
Lenders normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Calverton property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
