Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lytchett Matravers

Me and my partner are acquiring our first home. The conveyancing practitioner has texted usto check if we would like to purchase supplemental conveyancing searches. As novices we are clueless as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Lytchett Matravers

The extent of Lytchett Matravers conveyancing searches depends entirely on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the area and risks, your general appetite to risk. What matters is that you properly understand what information each search could supply. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that information. If unclear, ask the conveyancing practitioner to explain.

It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Lytchett Matravers. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Lytchett Matravers relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

Please help - my lawyer advises that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Lytchett Matravers?

The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

Can you point me to a directory of Santander panel solicitors in Lytchett Matravers on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings open the public online. Where you are looking for a Lytchett Matravers property lawyer on the Santander please use our facility.

I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Lytchett Matravers solicitor on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Barclays 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 Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, 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 Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Barclays mortgage has been paid off.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Lytchett Matravers and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Lytchett Matravers. We have lived in Lytchett Matravers for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I have todayfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Lytchett Matravers for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out 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 Lytchett Matravers conveyancing specialists.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Lytchett Matravers in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders will not grant a loan on this type of property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Lytchett Matravers. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
