My wife and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Hull with a mortgage. We have a Hull lawyer, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or retain our Hull solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This feels very unfair; can we not require that the mortgage company use our Hull lawyer ?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too.

Another option that might be available is for your Hull conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Hull conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for example Xpress Legal The local search plays an important part in many a Hull conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home.

I have todaybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Hull for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Hull conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Hull differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Hull contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Hull typically purchase 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Hull or who has acted in the same development.
