I have paid off my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Carmel conveyancing practitioner on the HSBC panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your HSBC 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 HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, 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 HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your HSBC mortgage has been paid off.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Carmel off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

Our sealed bid on a house in Carmel has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Carmel. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with UBS started?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Carmel conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the UBS approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some buyers will apply for a home loan with UBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Carmel with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Carmel from the point of view of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Carmel can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ solicitors.
    • If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Carmel leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. Should you fail to have the paperwork to hand you should not contact the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance. A minority of Carmel leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Arranging a new share certificate is often a lengthy formality and slows down many a Carmel conveyancing transaction. If a duplicate share certificate is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later.

I am buying a garden maisonette in Carmel. Conveyancing solicitor has been waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance paperwork. This morning I was advised that the seller needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above also. Why does my conveyancer want to review the insurance for the flat above? Is it really required? We have been in hold for the last 3 weeks…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Carmel to find Conveyancing in Carmel in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the entire building - which is clearly preferable. Do double check with your lawyer but it would seem that your lawyer is looking to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reconstructed for lack of insurance cover.
