I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Wallasey for our house move. Our broker informed us that our bank Yorkshire Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Wallasey conveyancing firms would have been on most lender panels. The FSA in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more data from law firms about their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many Wallasey conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Wallasey is one of the many areas where the solicitors showing on our search results are are authorised to act for Yorkshire Building Society.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Wallasey. The Wallasey property was put into my name in August. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this provision primarily exists to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We had chosen conveyancers located in Wallasey on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further fee for handling the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Leeds Building Society?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Leeds Building Society but by your Wallasey lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
We expect to receive a DIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Wallasey solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Wallasey solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.
My relative advised me that if I am purchasing in Wallasey I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Wallasey conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Wallasey around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Wallasey Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Wallasey.
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Edwardian house in Wallasey. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Leeds Building Society to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wallasey and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
