My solicitor has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Hilton. The other side have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must be satisfied that the bank is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
When will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Hilton and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Hilton you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hilton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We are selling our flat in Hilton. Will my conveyancer have to be required to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
