Me and my partner are buying a 3 bedroom flat in Newbury Park with a mortgage. We have a Newbury Park solicitor, however the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or keep our Newbury Park conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel that this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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. A further alternative is for your Newbury Park conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
We are downsizing from our house in Newbury Park and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Newbury Park. We have lived in Newbury Park for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Newbury Park?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Newbury Park. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Newbury Park is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Newbury Park are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Newbury Park 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 Newbury Park may determine 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 property.
