Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hayle

I can't travel far from Hayle. Is there a reason why all Hayle lawyers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?

Mortgage Companies tend to impose restrictions on either the type or volume of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm needs to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some lenders made a decision to reduce the number of conveyancers they use to act for them. It is worth noting that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of service supplied by any Hayle conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are differing opinions about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Statistics via HM Land Registry reveal that thousands of conveyancing firms only conduct a couple of conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel culls question why law firms should have the right to be on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that property law is not their speciality?

Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was retained a compulsory part of moving property. An energy performance certificate must be to hand before the property is marketed.

I am purchasing a property in Hayle. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Hayle.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Hayle off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

My cousin is buying a shared ownership flat in Hayle. He has received an estimate by the lawyer recommended by the estate agents totaling £1300 . It was eight years ago I sold and purchased a house and the bill was £just under five hundred pounds. Have costs really gone up that much?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance Hayle searches, land registry fees, etc)
