I'm at the point of viewing houses in Lyme Regis and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have my property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Virgin Money.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nationwide are being problematic. The Lyme Regis solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Lyme Regis is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Lyme Regis 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will be aware exactly where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you can buy or sell your property without any difficulty.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Lyme Regis prior to instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks tend refuse to grant a mortgage on such a premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Lyme Regis.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Lyme Regis. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Lyme Regis - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Best to be warned if changing the roof or some other major work is anticipated to be shared by the leaseholders and will materially impact the level of the service costs or necessitate a specific payment. Are there any major works in the near future that will likely increase the service charges? The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the lessees benefit from control and even though a managing agent is frequently employed if it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.
