Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thurston

I can't travel far from Thurston. I would like to know the understand why all Thurston property lawyers aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?

Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to lenders removing a number of firms off their panel of approved solicitors .

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Clydesdale, do Thurston solicitors incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Thurston conveyancer on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your TSB mortgage has been paid off.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date.

Your lawyer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your bank.
