Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Henleaze

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Henleaze. I would like to know the reason why all Henleaze conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?

As unjust as it may appear for lenders to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s standpoint, the flip side is that banks are increasingly anxious and feel it essential to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern mortgage companies are limiting their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.

The Henleaze conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Henleaze have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and my preferred Henleaze lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

I am the only recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Henleaze. The Henleaze property was put into my name in January. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this provision principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

I am buying a property in Henleaze. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Lloyds be concerned?

Given that your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease does not meet these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Henleaze.

We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly.
