Me and my fiance are purchasing a 3 bedroom flat in Ombersley with a mortgage. We like our Ombersley lawyer, however the bank advise she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or retain our Ombersley conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to demand that the lender use our Ombersley solicitor ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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. A further alternative is for your Ombersley conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ombersley? Why is this being asked of me?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Ombersley. However these days you can not complete any conveyancing process in the absence submitting evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other.
Evidence of the source of money is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancer must have this information on file. Your Ombersley conveyancing solicitor will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any funds from you into their client account and they should also ask additional questions regarding the source of funds.
My husband and I have arranged the release of further monies on our mortgage from Bank of Ireland as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Ombersley. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby Ombersley solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Bank of Ireland don't usually instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
We were going to get a OIP from Kent Reliance this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Ombersley solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Ombersley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
Planning on purchasing a house in Ombersley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Ombersley conveyancer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Ombersley concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
