Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wroughton

Some advice if I may. My Wroughton solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound toapply for Wroughton conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. Is my lawyer right?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with a bank your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Wroughton conveyancing searches.

My bank has suggested solicitors on their panel based in Wroughton but I would rather choose a conveyancing lawyer in Wroughton local to me. Can you assist?

It is by no means the case that all Wroughton conveyancing firms are approved and listed on all lender’s conveyancing panel. Please make the most of our search tool to choose a Wroughton conveyancing solicitor on the on the bank panel.

Is it the case that all Wroughton conveyancing solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the UBS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the CLC.

I currently have a mortgage with Barclays for my property in Wroughton. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?

You must advise Barclays in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel firm.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Wroughton is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My wife and I purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Wroughton. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and The Mortgage Works. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wroughton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

What does commercial conveyancing in Wroughton cover?

By way of example, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the transfer of existing leases or the drafting of new leasing arrangements.

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Wroughton

It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Wroughton conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
