Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a house in Poulton Le Fylde and have appointed a Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Halifax have this afternoon contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Poulton Le Fylde lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Poulton Le Fylde solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde? Why is this being asked of me?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Client Care letter that you need to sign should stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your lawyer will not be able to take you on as a client.

I'm at the point of viewing apartments in Poulton Le Fylde and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancer in place at this stage? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Virgin Money.

You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Coventry BS. Is it usual for Coventry BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Poulton Le Fylde is approved on their conveyancing panel? Coventry BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Co-operative have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Poulton Le Fylde has been accepted, now what?

Your property agent will want to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Co-operative or the broker and complete any appropriate paperwork. Co-operative will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Co-operative will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde.

I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing specialists.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Poulton Le Fylde in advance of retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on this type of home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you call us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Poulton Le Fylde.

My husband and I are four weeks into a residential purchase having been recommend to conveyancers by the estate agent to carry out the conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde. I am am starting to be disappointed with the quality of service. Can you help me find new lawyers?

A solicitor would have to be very bad in order to consider replacing them. Has your mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your solicitor ideally should be on the lenders panel to avoid supplemental expenses and complications. So that should be your starting point. Our search tool can help you find a lender approved solicitor for your conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde
