Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Northleach

My fiance and I intend to remortgage our apartment in Northleach with TSB. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the TSB conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to TSB. This is solely used to protect TSB if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of TSB had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

Does a directory service exist listing Skipton panel conveyancers in Northleach on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few banks make their panel listings visible over the internet. If you are in need of a Northleach conveyancing practitioner on the Skipton please make the most of our facility.

How can we know in advance if a Northleach conveyancing solicitor on the Barclays panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Northleach obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Northleach. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Northleach?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Northleach. 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 have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Northleach I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Northleach in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Northleach. I I would like to check if they are on the bank's approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

It’s a good idea contact your lawyer to check if they are on the bank's panel. If that does not help get in touch with us and we can investigate and revert. Should the firm not be on the lender panel we can certainly arrange a quality conveyancing solicitor in Northleach on the approved list for your mortgage company.
