Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Newark

My god-son is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Newark with a home loan from Skipton. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Skipton conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Skipton conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Completed the sale of my flat in Newark last August yet the purchaser is texting me complaining that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened now that I have sold?

After completion of your disposal your lawyer is duty bound to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. If applicable, your conveyancer must also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion steps specific conveyancing in Newark.

We wanted to use a property lawyer in Newark for our house move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our bank HSBC Bank won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?

A decade ago most banks had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Newark conveyancing firms would have been on most mortgage company panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more information from law firms concerning their operations and their employees and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of conveyancing. Many Newark conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Newark is amongst the numerous areas where the conveyancers we recommend are members of the panel for HSBC Bank.

I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of obstruction in Newark house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Newark.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Newark is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Newark are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Newark you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Newark 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 premises.

We are hoping to buy a four room apartmentin Newark with a loan from a bank. We have selected a lawyer in Newark however our lender says he's not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our lender panel solicitors or stay with our Newark solicitor and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The bank mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Newark : a mortgagee could choose 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 your bank.
