How can we tell if a Hathern conveyancing solicitor on the Virgin Money panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Hathern obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Hathern conveyancer on the UBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your UBS 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 UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, 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 UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Hathern bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Hathern conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your property lawyer must follow the CML Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Hathern 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

If the lease is registered - and most are in Hathern - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.

For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
