Some advice if I may. My Chandlers Ford conveyancer is informing me me that he has toconduct Chandlers Ford conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydsconveyancing panel. Do I not have any say here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’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 Chandlers Ford conveyancing searches.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Chandlers Ford for our house purchase. Our financial adviser has since notified us that our mortgage company Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have limited the number of firms they use to represent them. Be aware that Coventry Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Coventry Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there remains differing views concerning the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Chandlers Ford only carry out a couple conveyances per annum.

Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Edwardian property in Chandlers Ford. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Godiva Mortgages Ltd 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 Chandlers Ford and other locations in 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 the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Chandlers Ford.Conveyancing has not commenced however I have just had a half-yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the invoice as usual as all rents and service charges will be allottedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
