A mortgage offer from HSBC for the remortgage of my 2 bedroom flat is expected within the next few days. Can you put forward a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Merriott?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the cheapest conveyancing in Merriott. We can offer you excellent value conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing organisations teasing you with £99 conveyancing in Merriott. Optimistically, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst it will result in you with a surprising uplift in extras and still not get the service expected.

I am considering applying for a Lloyds mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Merriott with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Merriott. Will the conveyancing solicitor order an energy assessment or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s became a mandatory element of moving property. An EPC must be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. It is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Merriott conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable local energy assessors
I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Merriott. The Merriott property was put into my name in October. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision principally exists to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Merriott bank branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Merriott conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the lender panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
My mum and dad are encountering problems in finding their Merriott land registry title on the site. They recall that 48 years ago when they acquired the bungalow there were complications concerning Merriott not being recognised in some systems.
Almost all properties in Merriott should be revealed. Have you endevoured to search with just the postcode. Ordinarily it will mention all the premises inside the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought sixty years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title papers which might be with your parent’s bank.
