We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Wynyard for our house move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Aldermore won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
A decade ago most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Wynyard conveyancing firms would have been on many lender panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more data from law firms relating to their operations and their employees and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of conveyancing. Many Wynyard conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Wynyard is amongst the thousands of locations where the solicitors we recommend are on the panel for Aldermore.
Me and my brother own a semi-detached Victorian property in Wynyard. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Halifax to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Wynyard and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Wynyard prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks will not give a loan on this type of house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Wynyard. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Wynyard to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
