Recently asked questions about conveyancing in De Beauvoir Town

I can't travel far from De Beauvoir Town. I would like to know the understand why all De Beauvoir Town lawyers are not on all lender panels?

Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in banks and building societies culling less reputable firms off their panel of approved conveyancers .

Our lawyer has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are buying in De Beauvoir Town. The seller’s lawyers have suggested title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the lender is happy 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 bank are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender 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 solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would much rather appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in De Beauvoir Town?

Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender to see if they offer you a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in De Beauvoir Town.

There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in De Beauvoir Town but how do I know who I should use?

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest De Beauvoir Town conveyancing quote. 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.

We had selected conveyancing lawyers locally in De Beauvoir Town on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further charge for dealing with the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Barclays?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Barclays but by your De Beauvoir Town lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Barclays panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Lloyds. Is it usual for Lloyds to only issue the offer once my solicitor in De Beauvoir Town is approved on their conveyancing panel? Lloyds have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in De Beauvoir Town I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in De Beauvoir Town suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
