Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hessle

I was informed yesterday by my broker that my Hessle the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?

Your first step should be to contact your Hessle conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Hessle conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your bank.

As a novice what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Hessle?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Hessle and elsewhere in East Yorkshire is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially a bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Hessle is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

We are witnessing a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. You must always trust your lawyer above the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

The Hessle conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my purchase in Hessle have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a firm on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel and my previous Hessle lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would 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 should be in a position to assist.

Is there a list of Clydesdale panel solicitors in Hessle on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings available online. If you are in need of a Hessle property lawyer on the Clydesdale please make the most of our tool.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Hessle solicitor on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Nationwide 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 Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Nationwide mortgage has been paid off.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Hessle. I have a mortgage offer with Clydesdale. 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 have 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 Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that may impact a commercial estate in Hessle?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Hessle will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Hessle. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Hessle.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Hessle it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately can cause delays to Hessle commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Hessle.

How does conveyancing in Hessle differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Hessle approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Hessle tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hessle or who has acted in the same development.
