Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Penryn

My wife and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Penryn with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Penryn lawyer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little choice but to instruct one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or retain our Penryn conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This seems very unfair; can we not insist that the lender use our Penryn conveyancer ?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Penryn conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I am downsizing from our house in Penryn and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Penryn. Having lived in Penryn for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Penryn prior to appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Penryn. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
