Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sutton on Trent

I am hoping to move into my new home in Sutton on Trent next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What does the insurance need to cover?

All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Sutton on Trent.

Is it correct that all Sutton on Trent CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing list of approved solicitors?

Some major banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their panels.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from HSBC as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Sutton on Trent. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Sutton on Trent solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

HSBC would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC list.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Sutton on Trent. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.

The deeds to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Sutton on Trent 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?

Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your house and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.

Taking into account that I am about to part with £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Sutton on Trent I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thetransaction ahead of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

I own a leasehold flat in Sutton on Trent. Conveyancing and Nottingham Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Sutton on Trent who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?

First contact the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Sutton on Trent conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Sutton on Trent, conveyancing was carried out 7 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension?

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
