My partner and I are hoping to purchase a flat in Glyn Ceiriog and are in fact using a Glyn Ceiriog conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Aldermore have this morning contacted us to inform me that there is now an issue as our Glyn Ceiriog conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. Is this a problem?
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is normal for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Glyn Ceiriog lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Glyn Ceiriog. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could stored with the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Glyn Ceiriog relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
Are the BSA intent on creating a online directory to to identify practices on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for instance in Glyn Ceiriog?
Lexsure has not been advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.
Me and my brother have a terraced Victorian property in Glyn Ceiriog. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Coventry Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Glyn Ceiriog and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
