Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Uppingham

I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I hope to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Uppingham. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Uppingham? What am I being asked for?

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Uppingham conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing where you live.

In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to check not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will lead to your solicitor terminating their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your property lawyers will have an obligation to make a disclosure to the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Money Laundering Regulations.

My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Uppingham. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to see if these works were previously refused?

Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Uppingham will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or need the permission of another owner. Certain additions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

is it true that all Uppingham solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the CLC.

I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Uppingham building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Uppingham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Uppingham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Uppingham. Having lived in Uppingham for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Uppingham I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Uppingham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
