Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Woldingham

I can't travel far from Woldingham. Can you please spell out why all Woldingham property lawyers are not on all lender panels?

A decade ago most mortgage companies exhibited an approach to risk which is different than today. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the lawyers on your panel. As a result, mortgage companies have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms regarding their processes and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Hundreds of firms have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms were never going to meet the minimum amount of transactions the lenders required.

Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Woldingham conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel?

Woldingham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Bank of Ireland directly.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Woldingham is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Woldingham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Woldingham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woldingham 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 residence.
