It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Wantage. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Wantage involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Wantage. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Nationwide Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should phone your solicitor and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should call Nationwide Building Society who may be able to assist.
Does a directory service exist listing Principality panel conveyancers in Wantage on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings visible over the internet. If you are looking for a Wantage lawyer on the Principality please use our facility.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Wantage. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Wantage.
About to purchase house in Wantage. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wantage solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Wantage?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Wantage. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
