Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hurworth

We are purchasing a newly constructed apartment in Hurworth and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to reveal incentives from the builder. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and I would rather not delay deal. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Completed the sale of my flat in Hurworth last April yet the purchaser is telephoning every few hours to moan that his solicitor needs to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

we are a couple who are buying a purpose built apartment in Hurworth with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd.We have a Hurworth conveyancing practitioner but Godiva Mortgages Ltd informed us she’s not on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel firm or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Godiva Mortgages Ltd use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Hurworth ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not give a mortgage on such a home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Hurworth.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Hurworth. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Hurworth - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
