My husband and I are hoping to acquire a 2 bedroom flat in Irthlingborough with a mortgage. We like our Irthlingborough solicitor, however the bank advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Irthlingborough conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to demand that the bank use our Irthlingborough conveyancing practitioner ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you 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. A further alternative is for your Irthlingborough conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Irthlingborough and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
Your conveyancing practitioner is duty bound to clarify with lender to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only reveal this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Do I need to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Irthlingborough so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.
Most approved lawyers for banks undertake the vast majority of communications through the post, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in the country. That being said you should see if you have the option of visiting the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if just in case this is required.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Irthlingborough concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Irthlingborough is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Irthlingborough are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Irthlingborough you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Irthlingborough may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
