It is 10 years ago since I bought my home in Morley. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Morley relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
My husband and I intend to purchase a newly converted apartment in Morley with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society.We use our Morley conveyancing solicitor but Barnsley Building Society says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Barnsley Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Barnsley Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barnsley Building Society
I just bought a house at auction in Morley. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Now that you have exchanged you must instruct a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are facing a fast approaching a drop dead date to complete the deal. All auction property should have an associated auction set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the legal papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to the conveyancer instructed by you as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Morley solicitor on the TSB panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your TSB 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 TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, 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 TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
