My mortgage broker has asked me for my Yiewsley solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have contacted my local Yiewsley office but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Yiewsley conveyancing practitioner . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
I am being told by my solicitor that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Yiewsley conveyancing?
The appropriate level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Virgin Money. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
I happen to be the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Yiewsley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is primarily there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
I have instructed a Yiewsley conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds 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 lawyer 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 Lloyds, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Yiewsley.
