Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Castleford

My IFA says he needs my Castleford law firm’s panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have called my local Castleford branch but they don't know it.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Castleford lawyer . Most Castleford law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.

I am assisting my step-mother sell her flat in Castleford. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to see to?

Following the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments was left as a mandatory element of selling a property. An EPC should be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Castleford conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established Castleford providers

I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Castleford lawyer on the Nationwide panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

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

Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Castleford solicitor - who is on the UBS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Castleford postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Castleford.
