I can't travel far from Keyworth. I would like to know the logic why all Keyworth lawyers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders tend to impose restrictions on either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that the practice needs to have at least two partners. In addition to restricting the structure of firm, some banks decided to reduce the number of conveyancers they use to represent them. It is worth noting that mortgage companies have no liability for the quality of advice supplied by any Keyworth solicitor on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels in the last decade notwithstanding that there are opposing views concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data via the Land Registry exposes that thousands of law firms only transact less than three conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel cuts ask why conveyancing firms deserve the right to be listed on a bank panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?
I am acquiring a property mortgage free in Keyworth. I have been living for the previous 20 years in Keyworth. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Keyworth conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . One thing to take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it could be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where properties with no practical issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Keyworth should provide you some practical guidance here.
We had selected conveyancers locally in Keyworth on the UBS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by UBS but by your Keyworth solicitor. Numerous firms on the UBS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We expect to receive a OIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Keyworth solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Keyworth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Keyworth conveyancing practitioner on the Virgin Money panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, 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 Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
