Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fallowfield

Me and my partner are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Fallowfield with a mortgage. We have a Fallowfield solicitor, however the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little option but to use one of the bank panel solicitors or retain our Fallowfield solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; are we not able to insist that the mortgage company use our Fallowfield conveyancing practitioner ?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Fallowfield conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I purchased a freehold property in Fallowfield but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Fallowfield and has limited impact for conveyancing in Fallowfield but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be extinguished.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Fallowfield. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Fallowfield?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Fallowfield. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

I have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Fallowfield. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?

You must advise UBS prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’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 UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.

My offer on a semi in Fallowfield has been agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Fallowfield. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Fallowfield conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Lloyds approved list. As to the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that may impact a commercial site in Fallowfield?
