When can the exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Fleetwood and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Fleetwood you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Fleetwood)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My wife and I are purchasing a house in Fleetwood. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to deposit money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Fleetwood. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Fleetwood.
I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Fleetwood solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so

This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the lessor.
