I have paid off my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Shepshed lawyer on the Skipton panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Skipton 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 Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Lloyds are being a right pain. The Shepshed solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds 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.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Shepshed agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Shepshed. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Shepshed conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Clydesdale approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Shepshed.
