Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Malton. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Malton bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Malton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the property lawyer is on the lender panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Malton. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Malton

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Malton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.

I am buying a maisonette with all finances in place. I have provided solicitor with 2 separate proof of photo identification, bank statement, numerous utility bills. Now he needs a copy from a probate lawyer advising that the money is in order and that it has come from inheritance and not via illegitimate means.

In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Malton conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Establishing of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering laws.
