Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crabtree

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Crabtree? Is this really necessary?

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Crabtree conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to check not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will lead to your solicitor ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your property lawyers will have an obligation to inform the relevant authorities should they believe that any amounts received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

Is there a list of Co-operative panel solicitors in Crabtree on the Building Society Association’s Website?

No. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few banks make their panel listings open the public on the web. If you are looking for a Crabtree property lawyer on the Co-operative please make the most of our tool.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Bank of Ireland are being difficult. The Crabtree solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Crabtree on 21/7/2025, valuation was booked five days after, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Are Bank of Ireland entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

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 Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My wife and I are downsizing from our property in Crabtree and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Crabtree lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Crabtree. Having lived in Crabtree for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Crabtree 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

Assuming you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be evidenced by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and get current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for twenty pounds.

My step-mother purchased her house in Crabtree ten years ago. She has got married, widowed and has recently married again. She now wants to the sell the Crabtree property. I believe she will simply be need to supply copies of the marriage certificates to the lawyer but she is concerned it will frustrate the sale of the house. Should she instruct a conveyancing practitioner to update the Land Registry documents for the property?

The is no need to update the title for the property on the basis that you have the proof needed to demonstrate how the name change resulted.

The purchaser’s conveyancer should review the land registry entries and requisition evidence by way of proof of the change of name e.g. marriage certificates.
