Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Henley In Arden conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel?
Henley In Arden conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Clydesdale directly.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Co-operative as we want to carry out alterations to our property in Henley In Arden. Are we obliged to appoint a local Henley In Arden solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Co-operative do not ordinarily require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative list.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Henley In Arden conveyancing practitioner on the Lloyds panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds 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 Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Henley In Arden. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
Will my lawyer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Henley In Arden.

In the event that the premises has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also conduct an environmental search. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.
I'm buying a new build house in Henley In Arden with a mortgage from Barclays . The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Henley In Arden is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Henley In Arden are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Henley In Arden you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Henley In Arden may decide 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 residence.
