Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Williton

I plan on acquiring an apartment in Williton. My Conveyancer is not on the mortgage company approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Williton conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?

Your options include

  • Complete the deal with your preferred Williton conveyancing practitioner but your bank will no doubt retain a conveyancing practitioner from their approved panel. This will result in additional charges and likely interruption.
  • Choose a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your lawyer to do everything possible to join the bank’s panel of solicitors

My husband and I are purchasing a purpose built apartment in Williton with a homeloan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We have a Williton conveyancing practitioner but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society advised that she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Williton 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

You no longer need to hold title official documentation to prove you are the registered proprietor of land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Williton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Williton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan that many years 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 existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I am downsizing from my property. My former solicitors closed down. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Williton if that affects matters.
