Our conveyancer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Noak Hill. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer has advised that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank 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 conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Noak Hill. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they could still be with the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Noak Hill relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

I have a mortgage with Lloyds for my property in Noak Hill. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Lloyds?
Your original mortgage agreement with Lloyds will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel firm.
Our offer on a property in Noak Hill has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Noak Hill. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Principality going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Noak Hill conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Principality approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to move forward with searches.
