My property lawyer in Hackenthorpe has never been on on the HSBC Bank Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the HSBC Bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

The limited options open to you here include:

1. Complete the purchase with your existing Hackenthorpe solicitors but HSBC Bank will need to retain a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total legal fees and cause delays.
2. Get a new solicitor to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are on the HSBC Bank panel

We are due to move property in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Hackenthorpe. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your website.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the selling agent however this should only occur once the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Hackenthorpe or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Hackenthorpe.

I have paid off my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Hackenthorpe conveyancing practitioner on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Nationwide mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so

My offer on a detached house in Hackenthorpe has been agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The owners have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Hackenthorpe. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Lloyds going?

It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Hackenthorpe conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers will apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to proceed with searches.

I have a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Hackenthorpe. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and TSB. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Hackenthorpe and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

Taking into account that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on 3 bedroom house in Hackenthorpe I wish to talk to a conveyancer regarding thehouse move ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Hackenthorpe.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a case reference.
