I am getting a mortgage offer from Nat West. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Northumberland Heath. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

I'm in the throws of viewing flats in Northumberland Heath and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Lloyds.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
I have paid off my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Northumberland Heath solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Bank of Ireland have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Northumberland Heath has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Bank of Ireland or your broker and finalise any relevant paperwork. Bank of Ireland will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Bank of Ireland will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Northumberland Heath.
I am purchasing my first flat in Northumberland Heath with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it will affect my mortgage with Barnsley Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am 14 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in Northumberland Heath. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A conveyancer would have to be very bad in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage offer been issued? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the replacement solicitor and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added charges and complications. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers. The search tool should help you find a bank approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Northumberland Heath
Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold house in Northumberland Heath. Conveyancing and Clydesdale mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Northumberland Heath who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
First contact HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Northumberland Heath conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I have given up trying to purchase the freehold in Northumberland Heath. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Northumberland Heath conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Northumberland Heath flat is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case related to 13 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 76 years.
