My mortgage broker requires my Havant lawyer’ panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have tried my local Havant branch but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried speaking to your Havant lawyer about this?. Most Havant law practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
We are acquiring our first property. Our lawyer has texted usto ask if we wish to order additional conveyancing searches. Frankly we in the dark as to what's relevant for conveyancing in Havant
The type of Havant conveyancing searches should be triggered based primarily on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your general attitude to risk. What is important is that you adequately appreciate what information the searches could give you. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that information. Should you be uncertain, ask the conveyancing practitioner to explain.
My wife and I are purchasing a property in Havant. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we have to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Havant conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I have paid off my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Havant conveyancer on the Skipton panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Skipton 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 Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, 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 Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Will our conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Havant.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Havant. There are those who acquire a property in Havant, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Havant. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to find out if the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses stemming from an incorrect response. The purchaser’s lawyers may also carry out an environmental search. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.
