Completed the sale of my flat in Colyton last December but our buyer keeps Skype messaging every few hours to say their solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
After completion of your house sale your solicitor is obliged to forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also evidence that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Colyton.
We were going to get a OIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Colyton solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Colyton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
The mortgage over my property is with TSB for my property in Colyton. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform TSB?
You must advise TSB prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a TSB conveyancing panel lawyer.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Colyton on 6/3/2026, valuation was booked 2 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Virgin Money and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
