Recently asked questions about conveyancing in St Johns

My financial adviser has requested my St Johns solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have e-mailed my local St Johns branch but they don't know it.

Have you tried calling your St Johns solicitor about this?. Most St Johns conveyancing practices will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.

I own a freehold premises in St Johns but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in St Johns and has limited impact for conveyancing in St Johns but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in St Johns for our house purchase. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our bank Accord Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

Pre- 2008 most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all St Johns conveyancing firms would have been on many lender panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more data from law firms about their operations and their employees and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many St Johns conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. St Johns is one of the hundreds of areas where the conveyancers we list are members of the panel for Accord Mortgages Ltd.

How does conveyancing in St Johns differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in St Johns contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in St Johns usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in St Johns or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in St Johns before retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in St Johns. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on 3 bedroom house in St Johns I would like to talk to a conveyancer about mytransaction ahead of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we encourage - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in St Johns.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a file reference.
