My financial adviser has requested my Upper Norwood law firm’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have tried my local Upper Norwood branch but they cant find it on their system.

Have you tried contacting your Upper Norwood conveyancing practitioner about this?. Most Upper Norwood law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.

We are aiming to move property in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Upper Norwood. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent however this can only take place after the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Upper Norwood or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Upper Norwood.

We had chosen conveyancers located in Upper Norwood on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your Upper Norwood conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I have paid off my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Upper Norwood conveyancer on the Aldermore panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

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

I'm buying my first flat in Upper Norwood with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Upper Norwood is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Upper Norwood are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Upper Norwood you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Upper Norwood may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Upper Norwood

It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Upper Norwood conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
