Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Marston Moretaine

We are buying a 1 bedroom flat in Marston Moretaine with a mortgage. We like our Marston Moretaine solicitor, however the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel firms or continue with our Marston Moretaine lawyer and pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Marston Moretaine conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Having sold my house in Marston Moretaine last August yet the purchaser is SMS messaging every few hours complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?

Following your sale your conveyancer should deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where relevant, your lawyer must also confirm that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Marston Moretaine.

Can you point me to a directory of Lloyds panel solicitors in Marston Moretaine on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Barclays are being difficult. The Marston Moretaine solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Barclays are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

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

I require fast conveyancing in Marston Moretaine as I am under a deadline to sign on the dotted line in less than one month. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Marston Moretaine the following are examples of issues that can show up and therefore impact the marketability of the property: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

I'm buying a new build house in Marston Moretaine with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it will put at risk my loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

How straightforward is it to use the search facility to locate a conveyancing practitioner in Marston Moretaine on the authorised to act for my lender?
