Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Netherne

My solicitor has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Netherne. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the mortgage company can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

We see that you have a search directory identifying law firms on the UBS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Netherne?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Netherne.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the Coventry BS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Netherne?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

My wife and I buying a end of terrace house in Netherne. Our aim is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve enquiries to determine if these alterations were previously refused?

Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Netherne can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain works or need the permission of a 3rd party. Certain works call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

Is there a list of UBS panel conveyancers in Netherne on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings viewable online. If you are looking for a Netherne conveyancing practitioner on the UBS please make the most of our facility.

My offer was accepted on a property in Netherne on 21/7/2025, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Are Coventry BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

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 Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am purchasing my first flat in Netherne with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this extras as it may jeopardize my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Netherne I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Netherne suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
