Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Matlock

I am not in a position to travel far from Matlock. What is the rationale as to why all Matlock property lawyers are not on all bank panels?

Pre- 2008 most lenders had an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, banks have subsequently requiredmore data from law firms concerning their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of firms have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the minimum volume of transactions the lenders insisted on.

Our Matlock solicitor has identified a discrepancy between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance right?

Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I completed on my home on 7 November and the transaction details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Matlock said it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Matlock uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Matlock registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Matlock I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Matlock in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

My cousin is purchasing a ground floor flat in Matlock. He was given a quote by the lawyer suggested by the selling agents and it came to £1250 . It was 7 years ago since I sold and purchased a house and the fee was £440. Have costs really increased to that extent?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance Matlock searches, land registry fees, etc)
