Can you point me to a directory of TSB panel solicitors in Romsey on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings available over the internet. Where you are in need of a Romsey property lawyer on the TSB please make the most of our facility.

We previously chose conveyancers based in Romsey on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Romsey conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Coventry BS as we intend to conduct improvements to our home in Romsey. Are we obliged to select a high street Romsey solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Coventry BS would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Romsey differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Romsey come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Romsey tend to acquire the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Romsey or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Romsey is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Romsey are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Romsey you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Romsey 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.
