My lawyer has discovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are buying in Saltash. The seller’s lawyers have suggested title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer has advised that he must ensure that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the bank?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.
I am aiming to move house in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Saltash. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent however this can only occur when the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Saltash or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Saltash.

I have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Saltash. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nottingham?
Your original mortgage agreement with Nottingham will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nottingham will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. You need not do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel lawyer.
My partner and I are intent on selling our house in Saltash and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Saltash lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Saltash. We have lived in Saltash for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
