I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Saxilby for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Clydesdale won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies tend to imposes restrictions either the category or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their member panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a law practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have decided to limit the number of firms they use to act for them. Be aware that Clydesdale have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Clydesdale Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there remains mixed views about the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Saxilby only perform one or two conveyances a year.
We expect to receive a AIP from Skipton this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Saxilby solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Saxilby solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Saxilby. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being difficult. The Saxilby solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
We are purchasing a house and the conveyancer has referenced Chancel Repair for which the property may be liable given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has suggested insurance. Is this strictly required for conveyancing in Saxilby
Unless a prior purchase of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners delivering conveyancing in Saxilby to continue to advocate a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
