Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Choppington

I plan on purchasing a flat in Choppington. My lawyer is not listed on the bank approved panel. Can I still continue with my Choppington conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender approved list?

Your options include

  • Carry on with your existing Choppington lawyer but your bank will undoubtedly use a conveyancer on their approved panel. This will result in additional fees together with likely interruption.
  • Choose a fresh lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your property lawyer to pull out all the stops to get accepted on the lender’s conveyancing panel

Our lawyer has identified a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Choppington. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer has advised that he must ensure that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Choppington. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may stored with the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Choppington relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of delay in Choppington conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Choppington.

I'm buying my first flat in Choppington with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my lawyer about the extras as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

Is there a reason that Choppington conveyancing fees differ for leasehold and freehold properties?

If purchasing a leasehold property there is more work involved purely due to the fact that usually there are further parties involved in the form of the freeholder and/or Management Agents. As part of a lawyers enquiries they will check that all ground rent and service charges are paid up to date amongst other general leasehold matters. For this reason, the Sellers lawyers usually have to refer to the freeholder or Managing Agent for their replies to our questions. This may be time consuming and beyond the lawyers control
