It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Kington. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may stored with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Kington relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Kington for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company HSBC Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Lenders normally imposes restrictions either the category or the volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a firm must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of solicitor practices they permit to act for them. Be aware that HSBC Bank have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of HSBC Bank Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there remains mixed views about the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Kington only carry out a couple conveyances a year.
Can I be sure that the Kington conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Kington seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Kington conveyancing lawyers are selected. How long does it take for Clydesdale to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale conducted the survey? Have you advised Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Kington lawyer having checked that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Kington surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
