My mortgage broker has requested my Haverfordwest lawyer’ panel member for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have tried my local Haverfordwest office but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried speaking to your Haverfordwest lawyer about this?. Most Haverfordwest law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
We're in Haverfordwest, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Haverfordwest conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. How long does it take for Kent Reliance to issue the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Kent Reliance completed the survey? Have you advised Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Haverfordwest lawyer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS 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 Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, 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 Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Haverfordwest. I have a mortgage offer with Santander. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
