Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fulwood

I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Lloyds. My intention is to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Fulwood. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

My partner and I changing mortgage lender for our penthouse in Fulwood with HSBC. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the HSBC conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his entitlement to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to HSBC. This is solely used to protect HSBC if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of HSBC had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Fulwood conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Bank of Ireland?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland completed the survey? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Bank of Ireland are being difficult. The Fulwood solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Bank of Ireland are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Santander have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Fulwood has been accepted, what are the next steps?

Your property agent will want to be informed of your solicitor's details (be sure the lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Santander or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate paperwork. Santander will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Santander will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Fulwood.

I completed on my apartment on 9 August and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Fulwood said it will be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Fulwood uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Fulwood registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am thinking of appointing a conveyancing lawyer in Fulwood for my house move. Is it possible to see a solicitor's complaints history with the profession’s regulator?
