Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stokesley

My conveyancer has identified a a problem with the lease for the property we are buying in Stokesley. The other side have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer has advised that he must be satisfied that the lender is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?

Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the bank are the client. The appropriate lender requirements have to be complied with.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Stokesley? Why is this being asked of me?

You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Stokesley. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing deal if you have not submitting proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Please note that if you are supplying your driving licence as proof of identification it must be both the paper element as well as the photo card part, one is not sufficient without the other.

Evidence of your origin of monies is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. You should not be offended when you are asked to produce this as your conveyancer will need to have this information on record. Your Stokesley conveyancing solicitor will require evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any monies from you into their client account and they should also ask additional questions concerning the origin of funds.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Stokesley. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Stokesley?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Stokesley conveyancing solicitors are instructed. How long does it take for Clydesdale to issue the offer to the solicitor?

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Aldermore. Is it usual for Aldermore to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Stokesley is approved on their conveyancing panel? Aldermore have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Should one remove a departed person's details from the title deeds for a property in Stokesley?

Where a Stokesley property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal your lawyer would simply be asked to evidence as to the reason the other proprietor is not included in the contract, such as a grant of probate.
