Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Old Swan

My husband and I are looking to buy a house in Old Swan and have instructed a Old Swan conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. HSBC Bank have this morning contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Old Swan conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Old Swan lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

Is there a list of HSBC panel conveyancers in Old Swan on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings available on the web. If you are seeking to appoint a Old Swan solicitor on the HSBC please use our facility.

You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP.

As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Old Swan. 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?

We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Old Swan for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
