I am in the market for a reasonably priced conveyancer. Do I opt for a web based conveyancer as opposed to a local Waolstenholme conveyancing solicitor?
Established third party relationships is an important consideration when appointing conveyancing solicitors. Waolstenholme law firms benefit from long term relationships with mortgage brokers and Waolstenholme, local authorities, surveyors and other conveyancing firms meaning the whole process is going to be much smoother for you. Possessing years of knowledge of the local area is an advantage.
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Waolstenholme for our house move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage company TSB won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
A lender can require a panel solicitor act for it. Borrowers are expected to meet the cost of this. Please make use of our search facility to get a quote from a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Waolstenholme on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I am helping my sister sell her house in Waolstenholme. Will the solicitor commission an EPC or it is for the owner to see to?
After the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments was kept a mandatory part of moving property. An EPC should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Waolstenholme conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local providers
I have paid off my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Waolstenholme lawyer on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Santander 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 Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, 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 Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I currently have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Waolstenholme. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
Your original mortgage agreement with Virgin Money will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel firm.

My fiance and I are purchasing a four bedroom housein Waolstenholme with a home loan from a bank. We like our solicitor in Waolstenholme but our bank inform us now that he's not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our lender panel firms or keep our Waolstenholme conveyancer and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Waolstenholme : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
