We are planning to acquire a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Wellesbourne who is on the UBS solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for UBS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Wellesbourne.
we are a couple who are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Wellesbourne with a homeloan from Yorkshire Building Society.We like our Wellesbourne conveyancing practitioner but Yorkshire Building Society informed us he's not on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Yorkshire Building Society panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Yorkshire Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society
When it comes to mortgage companies such as TSB, do Wellesbourne solicitors face a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Nottingham as we want to carry out improvements to our home in Wellesbourne. Are we obliged to choose a bricks and mortar Wellesbourne solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Nottingham don't usually appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Wellesbourne solicitor - who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Wellesbourne surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Wellesbourne. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Wellesbourne ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wellesbourne. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Wellesbourne especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Wellesbourne.
