I am purchasing a property in Nuneaton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is HSBC your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not meet these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Nuneaton.
I have paid off my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Nuneaton lawyer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
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
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Nuneaton. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Nuneaton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Nuneaton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Nuneaton come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Nuneaton usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Nuneaton or who has acted in the same development.
Do I need to be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Nuneaton conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may recommend solicitors to select. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that the majority of mortgage providers operate an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your house move.
I am purchasing a flat and cash is in place. I have provided conveyancer with 2 separate proof of photographic ID, bank statement, endless utility bills.

For some years now requires conveyancing solicitors as well as banks, building societies and other financial institutes to obtain satisfactory evidence of the identity of the client. This is because solicitors who deal with money and property on behalf of their clients can be used by criminals wishing to launder money.
