What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Skipton Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Ashton In Makerfield?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Ashton In Makerfield. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this requirement is primarily there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.
We previously chose conveyancers based in Ashton In Makerfield on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further amount for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Ashton In Makerfield property lawyer. Some firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Ashton In Makerfield. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £175. A couple of days later, the property lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Ashton In Makerfield is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ashton In Makerfield are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ashton In Makerfield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ashton In Makerfield may determine 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 property.
