My financial adviser requires my Morecambe solicitor’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have contacted my local Morecambe office but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried speaking to your Morecambe lawyer about this?. Most Morecambe conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
My partner and I are getting closer to an exchange on a flat in Morecambe and my mum and dad have sent the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is obliged to check with mortgage company to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Morecambe and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Morecambe you are welcome to come in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Morecambe)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Morecambe. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Morecambe off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Principality. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Co-operative. Is it usual for Co-operative to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Morecambe is approved on their conveyancing panel? Co-operative have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
How does conveyancing in Morecambe differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Morecambe come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Morecambe usually purchase 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 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 Morecambe or who has acted in the same development.
