I am not in a position to travel far from Bloxwich. Is there a reason why all Bloxwich conveyancing practitioners are not on all lender panels?

Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the practice needs to have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have made a decision to restrict the number of firms they permit to represent them. You should note that building societies have no responsibility for the quality of conveyancing supplied by any Bloxwich conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. Increases in mortgage fraud was a key driver in the culling of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are conflicting thoughts about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data via the Land Registry reveal that thousands of conveyancing organisations only transact a couple of conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why law firms deserve the right to be listed on a lender panel when clearly property law is not their speciality?

As a FTB what is the most important number one tip you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Bloxwich?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Bloxwich or throughout Birmingham is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the home moving process. For instance, the seller, property agent and even potentially the bank. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Bloxwich should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

On occasion a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

I'm the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Bloxwich. The Bloxwich property was put into my name in December. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook mandates 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 could be caught by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Bloxwich bank branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Bloxwich conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

As long as the property lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
