In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Gosforth? Is this really warranted?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing retainer. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Where you are unwilling to hand over ID verification documents, your conveyancer can not take you on as a client.
We are due to move property in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Gosforth. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent but this can only occur after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Gosforth or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Gosforth.
Can you point me to a directory of Santander panel solicitors in Gosforth on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings viewable over the internet. If you are in need of a Gosforth conveyancer on the Santander please make the most of our tool.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Gosforth. I have a mortgage offer with Aldermore. 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 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 Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I have a renovated Georgian property in Gosforth. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Bank of Scotland to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Gosforth and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
I am buying my first flat in Gosforth with a mortgage from Halifax. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with Halifax. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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 am looking to sell a parking space which is on a separate legal title with the land registry asking for 30k, to clear debts. There is a mortgage with Bank of Ireland. Please can you refer me to an inexpensive lawyer as the standard £500-600 reduces the return somewhat. Although I live in Gosforth I dont need to use a Gosforth conveyancing practitioner.
LenderPanel.com is limited to being a directory service for solicitors who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland in certain areas for example Gosforth . Our intention is not to recommend any specific solicitor.
