We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Santander as we wish to conduct alterations to our home in Manor Park. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Manor Park solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Santander do not ordinarily require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander list.
We were going to get a DIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Manor Park solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Manor Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Manor Park. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Barclays Direct to clarify?
You should 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Manor Park and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
How does conveyancing in Manor Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Manor Park approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Manor Park usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Manor Park or who has acted in the same development.
