Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Polesworth

I am not in a position to travel far from Polesworth. Please spell out why all Polesworth conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?

Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lending institutions to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to banks and building societies culling less reputable firms from their official list of approved property lawyers .

I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Polesworth but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Polesworth and has limited impact for conveyancing in Polesworth but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

We had selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Polesworth on the Santander solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental charge for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Santander?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Santander but by your Polesworth property lawyer. Some firms on the Santander panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Polesworth solicitor on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, 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 Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Virgin Money mortgage has been paid off.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Polesworth. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £150. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
