Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Buckden

I have just been advised by my IFA that my Buckden the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?

You need to call your Buckden conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Buckden conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.

I do hope you can help me. My Buckden lawyer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toconduct Buckden conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. Do I not have any say here?

You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Buckden conveyancing searches.

My home in Buckden is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does my solicitor have to be required to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society 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 conditions fairly frequently in recent years.

My wife and I purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Buckden. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to see if these works are allowed?

Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Buckden will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of changes or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Many additions call for local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Buckden property lawyer on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Co-operative 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 Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, 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 Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Co-operative mortgage has been paid off.

The mortgage over my property is with UBS for my property in Buckden. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?

UBS must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that UBS 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 UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Buckden ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Buckden. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
