Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Timsbury

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a high street conveyancing solicitor in Timsbury?

Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" deal. Call the bank to determine if they offer you a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Timsbury.

I have paid off my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Timsbury conveyancer on the HSBC panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

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

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Timsbury. I have a mortgage offer with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Virgin Money are being difficult. The Timsbury solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Virgin Money are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Timsbury and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Timsbury conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Timsbury. We have lived in Timsbury for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must 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 sickness)

It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Timsbury took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Timsbury ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not give a loan on this type of premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Timsbury. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Timsbury to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

Am in the process of purchasing my 1st home in Timsbury. Conveyancing solicitor has been chosen. The financial consultant suggested that a survey is not needed as the house was only constructed 16 yrs ago.

The bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence is more than 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. They will highlight any obvious problems and suggest additional investigation if relevant. If there are any indications of problems get a full structural survey.
