Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in North Cave is not identified on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?

It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack 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. Where you are concerned you should contact the North Cave conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I currently have a mortgage with HSBC for my property in North Cave. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform HSBC?

Your original mortgage agreement with HSBC will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. It may be that HSBC 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 HSBC directly. You need not do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel firm.

How does conveyancing in North Cave differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in North Cave approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in North Cave typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in North Cave or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in North Cave

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted North Cave conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
