Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cowley

I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Santander. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Cowley. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?

The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

My solicitor has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Cowley. The other side have suggested title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer says that he must be satisfied that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Completed the sale of my flat in Cowley last July but my buyer keeps telephoning daily to say their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened following completion?

After completion of your disposal your lawyer should deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. If applicable, your solicitor must also evidence that the mortgage has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion steps specific conveyancing in Cowley.

There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Cowley but how do I know who's good?

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Cowley conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

My husband and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from Principality as we intend to carry out improvements to our home in Cowley. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby Cowley solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Principality don't usually appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality list.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Cowley conveyancing lawyers have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from HSBC?

There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC completed the valuation? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I am buying a new build house in Cowley with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My partner has suggested that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Cowley. Do I follow his advice?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Cowley conveyancing lawyer the best way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to get recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer that you are contemplating using.
