Do conveyancers ask for money on account for my conveyancing in Wroughton?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Wroughton your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. Generally this is needed to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the total price then this should be asked for immediately in advance of contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due will be payable a couple of days prior to the completion date.
My apartment in Wroughton is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my conveyancing practitioner have to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.
My wife and I have a renovated Victorian house in Wroughton. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Skipton Building Society to clarify?
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 Wroughton and other locations in 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 purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
