Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Nailsea

The Nailsea conveyancing firm handling our Nailsea conveyancing has identified a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach right?

Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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 you.

we are a couple who are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Nailsea with a loan from National Westminster Bank.We use our Nailsea conveyancing lawyer but National Westminster Bank says his firm is not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a National Westminster Bank panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that National Westminster Bank use our lawyer?

No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers needs to be on the National Westminster Bank approved list. in the past, most banks 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 National Westminster Bank

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Nailsea is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Nailsea are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Nailsea you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nailsea may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
