Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thorpe Hesley

My fiance and I are intent on purchasing an apartment in Thorpe Hesley. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Can I still appoint my Thorpe Hesley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company panel?

You have numerous alternatives open to you here

  • Proceed with your preferred Thorpe Hesley lawyer but your mortgage company will undoubtedly instruct a solicitor from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional charges and likely delay.
  • Choose a new solicitor to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your solicitor to seek to join the lender panel

My apartment in Thorpe Hesley is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will the solicitor need to be required to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.

We are planning on selling our home in Thorpe Hesley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Thorpe Hesley. We have lived in Thorpe Hesley for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Thorpe Hesley 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be held by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.

Is it simple use the search app to find a conveyancing practitioner in Thorpe Hesley on the approved list for my bank?

Step one is to pick a mortgage company such as Accord Mortgages Ltd, Chelsea Building Society or Barclays Direct then specify your preferred area a common one being Thorpe Hesley. Conveyancing firms in Thorpe Hesley and beyond should be identified.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Thorpe Hesley. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Thorpe Hesley - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Thorpe Hesley Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Questions you should consider before buying

    Please inform me if there are any major works anticipated that could add a premium to the service fees? Does the lease have in excess of 85 years remaining? Does the lease include onerous restrictions?
