Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stoke Bishop

My financial adviser has asked me for my Stoke Bishop law firm’s panel member for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Stoke Bishop branch but they don't know it.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Stoke Bishop conveyancing practitioner . Most Stoke Bishop law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.

The owners have rather assertive sellers who has insisted on a preliminary agreement with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such agreements sensible?

Exclusivity contracts are contracts between a home seller and prospective acquirer granting the buyer the sole right to purchase the property for a certain period of time. Essentially, an exclusivity agreement is a contract stating that you will be issued with a contract at a later time being the main conveyancing contract. It is generally utilised for buyer assurance though in some cases, the owner may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are various pros and cons to using an agreement but you need to check with your conveyancer but beware that it may end up costing you more in conveyancing charges. In light of this these contracts are rare in relation to conveyancing in Stoke Bishop.

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Stoke Bishop is more expensive?

Stoke Bishop leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving relevant notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Nationwide Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Stoke Bishop?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

I am aiming to move home in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Stoke Bishop. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this site.

On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the property agent but this can only happen once the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Stoke Bishop or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Stoke Bishop.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Stoke Bishop conveyancing practitioner on the Coventry BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, 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 Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Coventry BS mortgage has been paid off.

I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Stoke Bishop. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Principality?

Your original mortgage agreement with Principality will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel solicitor.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Stoke Bishop before instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders may not issue a loan on such a home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Stoke Bishop. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Bishop to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
