FAQs : The TSB Conveyancing Panel
I am getting a mortgage offer from TSB. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer. Does the TSB Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers
TSB’s approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We are due to exchange on the purchase a house but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the seller of £3k approx by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but my mortgage company TSB will not agree to this. Why was TSB even consulted?
Your lawyer being on the TSB conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform TSB of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyers to disclose the reduction to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you and TSB.
Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Leeds on the TSB conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the TSB approved panel?
We do not recommend specific firms as the right firm for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with local knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
I am considering applying for a TSB mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for TSB?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor but TSB will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
We expect to receive a DIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).Do the TSB recommend a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently
You will need to appoint solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and the TSB through the process.
I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a solicitor on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm
If you have finished paying off your TSB 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 TSB mortgage from the register. TSB,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 the TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
the TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your TSB mortgage has been paid off.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable 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 TSB you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.
