Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dunholme

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Dunholme is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Dunholme conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Dunholme. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is chiefly there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Dunholme building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Dunholme conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

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

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I require expedited conveyancing in Dunholme as I have an ultimatum to exchange contracts within one month. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

If.Given you are are a mortgage free purchaser you have the choice not to do searches although no conveyancer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Dunholme the following are instances of issues that can show up and therefore impact the marketability of the property: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Dunholme ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold home.
