I am expecting a mortgage with Santander. I hope to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Yiewsley. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are purchasing a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Yiewsley who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Yiewsley.
My stepmother informed me that in purchasing a property in Yiewsley there may be various restrictions prohibiting external alterations to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Yiewsley which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Yiewsley should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Co-operative as we intend to conduct alterations to our house in Yiewsley. Do we need to choose a local Yiewsley solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Co-operative don't usually appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.
Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Yiewsley solicitor - who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Yiewsley postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Yiewsley.

About to purchase a new build flat in Yiewsley. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Yiewsley
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
How do I use the search facility to find a conveyancing solicitor in Yiewsley on the panel for my mortgage?
Step one is to pick a lender such as Santander, Coventry Building Society or Britannia then choose your location for example Yiewsley. Conveyancing firms in Yiewsley and beyond should be listed.
