Finally, a mortgage agreement from Santander for the remortgage of my 2 bedroom apartment is to be issued within the next few days. Could you suggest a low cost conveyancing lawyer in Ouston?

This site is not designed to help those in pursuit of cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Ouston. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be fooled by organisations enticing you with ninety nine pound conveyancing in Ouston. Optimistically, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up with a hefty uplift in extras and still not get the service required.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a Ouston based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you want the "fee-free" deal. Contact the lender to determine if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Ouston.

I have paid off my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Ouston conveyancing practitioner on the Principality panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Principality 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 Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Principality mortgage has been paid off.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Ouston. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard 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 Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel 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.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Ouston bank branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Ouston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender panel, they must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
