My wife and I are buying a brand new apartment in Greystones and my solicitor is informing me that she has to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. I am under pressure to sign contracts and I don't want to delay the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

My partner and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from Skipton as we wish to conduct improvements to our home in Greystones. Are we obliged to appoint a local Greystones solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Skipton do not ordinarily instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

I have paid off my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Greystones solicitor on the HSBC panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your HSBC 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 HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your HSBC mortgage has been paid off.

I require quick conveyancing in Greystones as I am under a deadline to complete inside 2 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are are a mortgage free purchaser you are at free not to do searches although no conveyancer would advise that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Greystones the following are examples of issues that can arise and therefore affect market value: Enforcement Actions, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Greystones I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Greystones in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

My husband and I are disposing of a Greystones property left to us 5 years ago in 2010. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing know-how and, now retired, wish to undertake my own legal work. The purchaser's conveyancer has informed me that their Lenders will not allow you to do your own conveyancing insisting the funds to be transferred to a solicitor's bank account.

Lending requirements to conveyancing practitioners from all CML members specify that If the seller is not legally represented the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be told so that a decision can be reached if they are prepared to proceed.
