Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Newport Pagnell

I am in the process of selling my ground floor flat in Newport Pagnell and the EA has just telephoned to warn that the purchasers are appointing a new conveyancer. The excuse is that the mortgage company will only work with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. Why would a big named lender only engage with certain law firms rather the firm that they want to appoint for their conveyancing in Newport Pagnell ?

UK lenders have always had panels of law firms they are willing to work with, but in recent years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for more than 15 years.

Mortgage companies point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the pruning – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to keep an eye on. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The purchasers are not going to have any sway in the decision.

Please help. My Newport Pagnell conveyancer is assuring me that he is legally obliged toconduct Newport Pagnell conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. These Newport Pagnell searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer 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 specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Newport Pagnell conveyancing searches.

How up to date is your search tool for Newport Pagnell conveyancing solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Do Leeds Building Society send you an updated list?

Newport Pagnell conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.

I can see plenty of here concerning conveyancing in Newport Pagnell but can you isolate your top tip for selecting the right conveyancer in Newport Pagnell

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Newport Pagnell conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

Is it the case that all Newport Pagnell CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing list of approved firms?

A selection of lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of firms.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Newport Pagnell building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Newport Pagnell conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the solicitor is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that could affect a commercial premises in Newport Pagnell?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Newport Pagnell will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Newport Pagnell. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Newport Pagnell.

What advice can you give us when it comes to choosing a Newport Pagnell conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Newport Pagnell conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you talk with two or three firms including non Newport Pagnell conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be useful:

    How many lease extensions has the firm conducted in Newport Pagnell in the last twenty four months? How experienced is the firm with lease extension legislation?

I acquired a 2 bed flat in Newport Pagnell, conveyancing was carried out in 1995. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Newport Pagnell with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2089

With just 63 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £16,200 and £18,600 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
