Do I select a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Wennington?

The two can handle associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, enfranchisement and transfer of equity conveyancing.
We expect to receive a AIP from Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale recommend any Wennington solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Wennington solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Virgin Money are being problematic. The Wennington solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Virgin Money are insisting on 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.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Wennington with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this extras as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Wennington is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Wennington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wennington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wennington may ascertain 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 property.
Taking into account that I will soon spend 450k on a house in Wennington I would like to talk to a lawyer regarding thehouse move in advance of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Wennington.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a case reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Wennington should be the figure that you end up paying.
Am I best advised to choose a Wennington conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am buying? We have a good friend who can handle the legal formalities but his firm is located 300miles away.
The benefit of a local Wennington conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to sign documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and they were happy that should outweigh using an unknown Wennington conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mum’s Will, with a house in Wennington which is to be sold. The property is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that some purchasers will insist that it is done before they'll proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation you refer to it seems advisable to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
