My financial adviser requires my Malpas lawyer’ panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have called my local Malpas branch but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried contacting your Malpas solicitor about this?. They retain a central record lender panel numbers.
My Malpas conveyancer has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
We see that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Malpas?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Malpas.
My lawyer in Malpas is not listed on the Virgin Money Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Virgin Money list of approved lawyers?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Malpas solicitors but Virgin Money will need to use a conveyancer on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing charges and cause frustration.
- Get a new solicitor to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Virgin Money approved.
- Persuade your Virgin Money solicitor to try to join the Virgin Money panel
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Malpas I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Malpas in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my father I am selling a property in Swansea but reside in Malpas. My conveyancer (who is 200 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Malpas to attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Malpas based
