Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Idle

We are buying a 3 bedroom flat in Idle with a mortgage. We have a Idle conveyancer, however the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel firms or keep our Idle solicitor and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. 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. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Idle conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My fiance and I wish to acquire a newbuild flat in Idle with a residential mortgage from Bank of Ireland.We like our Idle conveyancing solicitor but Bank of Ireland says her practice is not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Bank of Ireland panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies 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. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland

Have completed on a a terraced house in Idle , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Idle conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are addressed.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Idle registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am buying my first flat in Idle with a mortgage from Barclays . The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Idle and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to affords security of tenure to business tenants, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Idle

My dad completed his conveyancing in Idle 7 years ago. He has been wed, widowed and is now remarried. He now wishes to dispose of the Idle property. I believe he will just be asked to supply copies of the marriage certificates to the conveyancer however he is anxious it could delay the home sale. Is it worth updating the Land Registry details for the house?

The is no need to update the title for the property on the basis that you have the evidence needed to show how the change of name occurred.

The purchaser’s conveyancing practitioner should review the title entries and need evidence to prove the name change for instance marriage documentation.
