Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Goodrich

My husband and I are planning to buy a flat in Goodrich and have instructed a Goodrich conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Virgin Money have this morning contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Goodrich solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. 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 Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your bank 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 don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Goodrich lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

My conveyancer has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are buying in Goodrich. The other side have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must be satisfied that the lender is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

As far as conveyancing in Goodrich is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays.
