Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Loxford conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore conducted the valuation? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Loxford property lawyer on the Virgin Money panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I bought my flat on 6 March and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Loxford expressed confidence that it will be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Loxford uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Loxford registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
