Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mickleover

My partner and I are hoping to acquire a flat in Mickleover and are in fact using a Mickleover conveyancing practice. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Santander have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Mickleover conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Mickleover lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Mickleover. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the title deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they may stored with the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Mickleover involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Mickleover. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange an EPC or it is for the seller to coordinate?

Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a compulsory element of selling a house. An energy performance certificate should be to hand prior to the property being put on the market. This is not a task that solicitors normally organise. If you are using a Mickleover conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local energy assessors

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Mickleover is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Mickleover lawyer having checked that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Mickleover surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I require quick conveyancing in Mickleover as I am under a deadline to sign on the dotted line within 4 weeks. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

If.Given you are are a mortgage free buyer you are at free not to have searches carried out although no lawyer would suggest that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Mickleover the following are examples of what can show up and adversely affect future mortgageability: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Fees, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Mickleover. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Mickleover - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Mickleover - Examples of Queries before Purchasing

    Does this lease have in excess of 90 years remaining? How much is the ground rent and service charge? Generally speaking the outlay for major works are not included within service charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Mickleover obliged leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of establishing a fund for larger repairs or maintenance.

I pay a maintenance fee for my property in Mickleover. Due to losing my job and personal issues I fell behind with remittance. I negotiated a clearance plan but there is still two outstanding as of today.

I want to sell and I am panicking this may jeopardize the sale if I have to settle the arrears first. I'd like to sell up and subsequently repay the arrears from the proceeds - is this viable?

You should clarify with the lawyer handling your Mickleover conveyancing but one option could be to agree for the debt to be passed to the buyers. The sale price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then discharge the fees once they are the owners.
