Recently asked questions about conveyancing in West Drayton

My wife and I are hoping to buy a flat in West Drayton and are in fact using a West Drayton conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our conveyancer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Clydesdale have this evening contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our West Drayton conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. What do we do from here?

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred West Drayton lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in West Drayton? Is this really warranted?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms of Engagement that you need to sign should reaffirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you refuse to hand over identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.

Does a directory service exist listing Nationwide panel conveyancers in West Drayton on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings open the public on the web. Where you are seeking to appoint a West Drayton lawyer on the Nationwide please use our facility.

It would be prudent to start your search sooner rather than later.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in West Drayton before instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold premises.
