Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lymington

Please help. My Lymington solicitor is advising me that he has toapply for Lymington conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. Do I not have a choice here?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Lymington conveyancing searches.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Lymington? Is this really warranted?

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Lymington conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are obliged by law to ascertain not just the ID of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this may lead to your conveyancer ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your conveyancers will have an obligation to notify the appropriate authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

Me and my brother have a renovated Edwardian house in Lymington. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lymington and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

I'm remortgaging my primary home to a BTL loan with Nationwide Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on further property. The area we are looking at is Lymington. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the conveyances?

My partner and I may need to let out our Lymington garden flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Lymington conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Even though your previous Lymington conveyancing solicitor is not available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to seek permission via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior consent. The consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
