Do lawyers ask for money up-front when it comes to conveyancing in Hawes?

Does a directory service exist listing TSB panel conveyancers in Hawes on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings open the public online. Where you are seeking to appoint a Hawes conveyancing practitioner on the TSB please use our tool.

I'm at the point of looking at flats in Hawes and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with HSBC.

It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Hawes conveyancing practitioner on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

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

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for delay in Hawes conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Hawes.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Hawes prior to retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks may not give a loan on this type of home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Hawes. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Hawes to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Hawes and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Hawes. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Hawes area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Hawes. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

I am 17 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Hawes. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

They would need to be really bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has your mortgage been issued? If so you will need to advise them of the replacement conveyancer and get the offer are re-issued. Your solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added charges and complications. So that should be your starting point. Our search tool should assist you in finding a lender approved solicitor for your home move in Hawes
