Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fillongley

My financial adviser says he needs my Fillongley solicitor’s panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have called my local Fillongley branch but they cant find it on their system.

Have you tried calling your Fillongley solicitor about this?. Most Fillongley law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.

We are getting closer to an exchange on a property in Fillongley and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?

The lawyer is obliged to check with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I have 7378 less than 75 years left on my lease and require a lease extension for my flat in Fillongley. Conveyancing solicitors on the Platform panel can deal with such extensions right?

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are obtaining a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 26/3/2025 the requirements read as follows :

Minimum 85 years unexpired from completion, except where the mortgage application is pursuant to Platform's participation in the Government's Help to Buy Shared Equity scheme, in which case (a) the unexpired lease term must not be less than 250 years for new-build houses and not less than 125 years for new-build flats and (b) ground rent must be reasonable at all times and any escalation must be linked to RPI (Retail Price Index) or a similar index.

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Fillongley what would it be?

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Fillongley conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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.

I have been advised by my conveyancer that missing deeds insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Fillongley?

The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I currently have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Fillongley. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending 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 Nationwide?

You must advise Nationwide before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent 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 Nationwide directly. You need not do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel firm.

My wife and I own a renovated Georgian property in Fillongley. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Coventry Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Coventry Building Society to clarify?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Fillongley and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

I am buying a new build house in Fillongley with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
