Much to our surprise we have been advised by our financial adviser that my Kesgrave the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to check?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Kesgrave lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.
We are purchasing a newly constructed duplex in Kesgrave and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to sign contracts and I have no desire to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Your conveyancer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Kesgrave will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of works or necessitated the permission of another owner. Some works require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Kesgrave lawyer on the Santander panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Santander 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 Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so

How does conveyancing in Kesgrave differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Kesgrave come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Kesgrave usually buy the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Kesgrave or who has acted in the same development.
