I sincerely hope you can help me. My Liss conveyancer is assuring me that he has toconduct Liss conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is my conveyancer right?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Liss conveyancing searches.

We decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Liss with a residential mortgage from Coventry Building Society.We like our Liss conveyancing lawyer but Coventry Building Society says he's not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Coventry Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Coventry Building Society

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Liss conveyancer 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Santander mortgage has been paid off.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Liss off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Liss. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?

Coventry BS must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Coventry BS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. You need not do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel firm.

I need some quick conveyancing in Liss as I am faced with pressure to exchange contracts within 3 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not getting a mortgage you have the choice not to have searches conducted although no law firm would suggest that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Liss the following are instances of issues that can appear and adversely affect the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

I have todayfound out that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Liss for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Liss conveyancing specialists.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Liss in advance of instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders may not grant a mortgage on this type of house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Liss. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Liss especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Liss.
