We are getting a further advance on our home loan from TSB as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Chantry. Do we need to select a high street Chantry solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
TSB don't usually require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB list.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Chantry conveyancing solicitors are appointed. How long does it take for Nottingham to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nottingham conducted the valuation? Have you advised Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Chantry conveyancing practitioner on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Chantry prior to retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Chantry.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Chantry. I happened to land on a web site which seems to have the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I have just placed an offer on an apartment in Chantry and the broker that we are dealing with suggested his lawyer. She quoted nine hundred pounds including VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound steep?
You should not rely on one estimate. One should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Chantry. Then pick one that you trust and crucially, is on the approved panel of the mortgage company that you have applied for a mortgage from.
