I am obtaining a mortgage with Santander. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Poole. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Poole. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an EPC or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was retained a compulsory element of moving property. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned before the property is put on the market. This is not something that solicitors ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Poole conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local providers
I am the only recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Poole. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Poole bank branch on various occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Poole conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your solicitor must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 left on the lease.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Poole is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Poole are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Poole you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Poole may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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.

My father has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Poole. Should I use them?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Poole conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to have referrals from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the solicitor that you are considering.
Can you set out some of compelling benefits to choosing a local conveyancer in Poole
Home movers in Poole prefer a local conveyancer so that they can pop into the firm’s offices just in case they have concerns, and to deliver mortgage deeds without using the Royal Mail.
There is a slight benefit in selecting a lawyer local to the premises you are purchasing, due to the familiarity of the locality and possible local issues - yet this is debatable. Most conveyancers are now via the web and may be practically anywhere.
