Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Prenton

We are buying a 1 bedroom flat in Prenton with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Prenton conveyancer, but the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the bank panel conveyancing practices or keep our Prenton conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel lawyers to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’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. A further alternative is for your Prenton conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Prenton. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Prenton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

How does conveyancing in Prenton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Prenton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Prenton typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Prenton or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Prenton prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend refuse to give a mortgage on such a premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Prenton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Prenton to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

Is it possible to change conveyancer as I need to instruct one who is on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. I instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Prenton round the corner but she is not accepted by Coventry Building Society
