It is is a decade since I bought my property in High Wycombe. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in High Wycombe involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

My home in High Wycombe is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does the lawyer need to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

Is it the case that all High Wycombe CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing list of approved firms?

A selection of banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

Is there a list of Coventry BS panel solicitors in High Wycombe on the Building Society Association’s Website?

No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings open the public on the web. Where you are looking for a High Wycombe solicitor on the Coventry BS please use our tool.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. High Wycombe conveyancing solicitors were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Coventry BS conducted the survey? Have you advised Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

How does conveyancing in High Wycombe differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in High Wycombe come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in High Wycombe usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in High Wycombe or who has acted in the same development.
