The Shepshed conveyancing firm handling our Shepshed conveyancing has identified a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Shepshed

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Shepshed conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Nationwide as we intend to carry out renovations to our home in Shepshed. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Shepshed solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Nationwide do not ordinarily require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide panel.

I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Shepshed conveyancer on the TSB panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your TSB mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your TSB mortgage has been paid off.

I purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Shepshed. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Yorkshire Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Shepshed and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

Taking into account that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Shepshed I would like to talk to a lawyer concerning theconveyancing before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor who will be conducting your conveyancing in Shepshed.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a file number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Shepshed should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

We are about to purchasing a flat in Shepshed. Can the conveyancing practitioner keep our purchase price confidential from the likes of Nestoria. How do I make sure this is not noted?

HMLR are legally required to reveal price paid data on the official title for domestic properties countrywide including homes in Shepshed. The Title Register is an open document, so HMLR would be breaking the law excluded certain properties such as the property in Shepshed.

You can make a request of HM Land Registry to hide the amount paid entry yet the response will be a No.
