Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Temple

The solicitor who dealt with my previous purchase has sent a quote for £1350 for no completion no fee conveyancing in Temple. I’m hoping to downsize from a newly refurbished house for £125,000. This seems over the top. Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Temple?

The estimate does seem marginally steep. If you are prepared to invest time comparing quotes you could decrease the fees slightly by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, you couldcome to rue opting for an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to ensure the firm can represent your lender.

I am thinking of remortgaging my flat in Temple, does my lawyer have to be on the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, but Bank of Ireland would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Temple. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Temple?

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 vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

Is it correct that all Temple CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?

A selection of banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Temple solicitor on the UBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

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

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for delay in Temple conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Temple.

The deeds to my house are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Temple 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be held by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
