Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fleetwood

My Fleetwood lawyer has uncovered an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach right?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. 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.

Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Fleetwood?

If you are buying a property in Fleetwood your lawyer will request that you place them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is as part of the total price then this will be asked for immediately prior to exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due will be payable a few days ahead of the completion date.

How can we know in advance if a Fleetwood conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Fleetwood. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender UBS be concerned?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Fleetwood.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Fleetwood solicitor on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

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

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Fleetwood

It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Fleetwood conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
