I am obtaining a mortgage with Halifax. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Rendlesham. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

Due to complete my purchase in Rendlesham next Tuesday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for mortgage companies would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 requirements. These requirements are not unique to conveyancing in Rendlesham.

We're in Rendlesham, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Aldermore , and our solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

We are due to move house in December. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Rendlesham. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this should only take place after the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Rendlesham or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Rendlesham.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Rendlesham conveyancing practitioner on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

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

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Rendlesham. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A couple of days later, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Nationwide 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 Nationwide 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.
