Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sheerness

I am considering applying for a Coventry BS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Sheerness with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Coventry BS ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Coventry BS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

When it comes to lenders such as Co-operative, do Sheerness property lawyers face a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

We had selected conveyancing lawyers with offices in Sheerness on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Sheerness property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.

I am buying a property in Sheerness. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As your lender is HSBC your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The CML Handbook includes minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to HSBC where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Sheerness.

As far as conveyancing in Sheerness registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Sheerness in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
