Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ferryhill

I am nearing exchange of contracts for my ground floor flat in Ferryhill and the EA has just e-mailed to say that the purchasers are switching law firm. I am told that this is due to the fact that the mortgage company will only engage with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. Why would a big named mortgage company only deal with specific law firms rather the firm that they want to choose for their conveyancing in Ferryhill ?

Banks have always had an approved set of law firms that can represent them, but in the last few years big names such as Santander, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for over 25 years.

Banks point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Some do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your purchasers are unlikely to have any impact on this.

We note that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Ferryhill?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Ferryhill.

What is the optimum way to discover of the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in Ferryhill is on the bank’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for TSB thus paying £192.00 in another set of legal invoice.

Are all Ferryhill Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing list of approved practices?

It is true that some banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.

Does a directory service exist listing Santander panel solicitors in Ferryhill on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings available on the web. Where you are in need of a Ferryhill conveyancer on the Santander please use our facility.

We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from TSB as we wish to conduct renovations to our house in Ferryhill. Are we obliged to choose a nearby Ferryhill solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

TSB don't usually appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB list.

I am intent on selling our house in Ferryhill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ferryhill. We have lived in Ferryhill for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of 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 ailment)

I am buying a new build flat in Ferryhill. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ferryhill

    Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
