Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Pevensey

It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Pevensey. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Is this a major issue?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Pevensey relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Barclays, do Pevensey conveyancers incur a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

Is it the case that all Pevensey conveyancing solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be overseen by the CLC.

We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers based in Pevensey on the HSBC solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for handling the HSBC mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by HSBC but by your Pevensey lawyer. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Pevensey.

Notwithstanding that your last Pevensey conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you need to seek permission via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld.
