Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Luton

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Luton is not on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?

That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Luton conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Luton. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Barclays Direct approved list of lawyers. Can you help?

The first thing you should do is e-mail the solicitor and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you should call Barclays Direct who may be able to assist.

My husband and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Luton and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Clydesdale.

You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I currently have a mortgage with Kent Reliance for my property in Luton. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?

You must advise Kent Reliance prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Kent Reliance will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Kent Reliance directly. You need not do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel lawyer.

At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Luton accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Luton. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS going?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Luton conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.

I have recentlyfound out that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Luton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Luton conveyancing specialists.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Luton with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it could impact my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My cousin has suggested that I use his conveyancers in Luton. Should I use them?

There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to get guidance from friends or family who have used the firm that you are considering.
