Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mancot

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Mancot is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?

That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Mancot conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

Is it the case that all Mancot conveyancing solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Aldermore are being a right pain. The Mancot solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore 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.

About to purchase flat in Mancot. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Mancot property lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Mancot and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Mancot lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Mancot. We have lived in Mancot for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Mancot?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Mancot. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

About to purchase a new build apartment in Mancot. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Mancot

    Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Mancot in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks will not give a loan on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can look into this further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Mancot. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Mancot to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
