My mortgage broker has requested my Mobberley lawyer’ panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local Mobberley office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried speaking to your Mobberley conveyancing practitioner about this?. Most Mobberley law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
We decided to purchase a newly converted apartment in Mobberley with a mortgage from Britannia.We would like to retain our Mobberley conveyancing solicitor but Britannia informed us she’s not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Britannia panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Britannia panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers must be on the Britannia solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Britannia
How does conveyancing in Mobberley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Mobberley approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Mobberley tend to acquire the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Mobberley or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Mobberley prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Mobberley. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Mobberley especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Mobberley.
I need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner in Mobberley for my home move. Is there any facility to review a solicitor's record with the legal regulator?

How does one remove a deceased person's details from the title register for a house in Mobberley?
If a Mobberley property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal you would just need to evidence as to the reason the other owner is not a party to the contract, ordinarily this takes the form of the probate documents.
With a view to making things simpler for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased party erased from the title by applying to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
