The FSA in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more information from law firms relating to their operations and their employees as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of transactions.

I'm buying my first flat in Coleshill with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward conveyancers to retain. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that most lenders specify a panel list of law firms you have to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Coleshill from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Coleshill can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ lawyers. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Obtaining a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming formality and delays many a Coleshill conveyancing deal. Where a new share is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable verify this via your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is under 80 years. It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. A minority of Coleshill leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is 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 actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.
