Some advice if I may. My Church Stretton lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toapply for Church Stretton conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. These Church Stretton checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Church Stretton conveyancing searches.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Church Stretton conveyancer on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

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.

My colleague recommended that where I am purchasing in Church Stretton I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is sometimes included in the estimate for your Church Stretton conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Church Stretton around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Church Stretton.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Church Stretton I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Church Stretton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I have been looking for Church Stretton conveyancing quotes online. Can I be sure that all the Church Stretton law firms that are listed on your directory are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?

The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have advised us that they are on the bank panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Church Stretton firm being on the lender conveyancing panel is not accurate.
