I plan on buying an apartment in Stourport On Severn. My property lawyer has never been on on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Can I still appoint my Stourport On Severn conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One will need to have a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required if you need a mortgage to buy your property. The lawyer will conduct all the essential investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in order. You could instruct a Stourport On Severn conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, if the lawyer appointed is not a member of the bank conveyancing panel supplemental fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they can do so.
I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Stourport On Severn solicitor on the TSB panel to remove 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The mortgage over my property is with Bank of Ireland for my property in Stourport On Severn. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Bank of Ireland?
You must advise Bank of Ireland in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Bank of Ireland’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let 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 Bank of Ireland directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel firm.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Stourport On Severn bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Stourport On Severn conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Just acquired a detached house in Stourport On Severn , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Stourport On Severn conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Stourport On Severn is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies.

Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
