My financial adviser has asked me for my Newburn solicitor’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have called my local Newburn office but they have not responded to me.
Have you tried calling your Newburn property lawyer about this?. They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
Please help. My Newburn conveyancer is informing me me that she is duty bound toconduct Newburn conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. Do I not have a choice here?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Newburn conveyancing searches.
My husband and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Newburn with a homeloan from Barnsley Building Society.We would like to retain our Newburn conveyancing practitioner but Barnsley Building Society advised that his firm is not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barnsley Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Newburn is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Newburn are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Newburn you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Newburn may decide 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.
