I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Lloyds. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Clun. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
My son is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Clun with a mortgage from UBS. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Clun. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they could stored with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Clun involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
My wife and I are purchasing a property in Clun. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Coventry BS as we wish to conduct improvements to our home in Clun. Are we obliged to appoint a local Clun solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Coventry BS would not normally require firms on their conveyancing panel 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 Coventry BS panel.
I have finally had an offer on a maisonette in Clun accepted, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The owners have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Clun. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Nationwide started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Clun conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Nationwide approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Clun.
We are 3 weeks into a freehold purchase having been recommend to conveyancers by the local agent to perform conveyancing in Clun. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A conveyancer would need to be really bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been sent? If so you need to inform them of the replacement conveyancer and ensure the loan are issued to the new lawyers. Your new conveyancer should be on the banks panel to avoid supplemental expenses and frustration. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers.

I have been advised by numerous family members that it may take 6-8 weeks for Clun conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The paperwork was only forwarded from the vendors solicitor yesterday so does the time start running now?
Do not count on completing on a specific date until contracts are exchanged. Whatever assurances the people you are purchasing from or selling to make, or your mortgage broker makes don't count on them. More frustration is caused to buyers and sellers by unfulfilled assurances than anything else.
