Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Beadnell

My husband and I decided to purchase a 3 bedroom flat in Beadnell with a mortgage from Halifax.We have a Beadnell conveyancing practitioner but Halifax says her practice is not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Halifax panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors must be on the Halifax solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 Halifax

We previously chose solicitors with offices in Beadnell on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Nationwide mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nationwide but by your Beadnell property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Nationwide panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.

I have paid off my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Beadnell lawyer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

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

I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Beadnell. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
