I am selling my apartment in Rhosesmor and the EA has just telephoned to advise that the purchasers are switching solicitor. I am told that this is due to the fact that the bank will only work with property lawyers on their approved list. Why would a big named mortgage company only engage with certain law firms rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Rhosesmor ?
UK lenders have always had panels of law firms that can represent them, but in the past few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have considered and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for many years.
Lending institutions point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. Banks tend not to reveal how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Some are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your buyers are not going to have any impact on this.
I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Rhosesmor. I have lived for the previous dozen years in Rhosesmor. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the Rhosesmor conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. On occasion houses with no practical issues can still show up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Rhosesmor will be able to give you some helpful guidance concerning this.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Rhosesmor. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Rhosesmor relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
Do I need to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Rhosesmor so that I can pop in to their offices if required.
As opposed to ten years ago, most lenders no longer oblige their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the mortgagors signature. It will still be necessary for you to hand over ID documents and there are still distinct benefits to instructing a local ayer, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Rhosesmor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Rhosesmor is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Rhosesmor are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rhosesmor you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rhosesmor may determine 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 premises.
