Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Prudhoe is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 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) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Prudhoe conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
We are a couple about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Prudhoe. We have hit a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Barclays Direct runs out on 18/8/2025 but the vendors are putting forward a completion date of 20/8/2025. Can one prolong the loan expiry date?
The person best placed to address this concern is your conveyancer who is in a position to assess if he or she is corresponding with the bank, seller’s conveyancers, property agents or conceivably all three based on the history of your transaction to date.
Just bought a detached house in Prudhoe , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Prudhoe conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Prudhoe registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Prudhoe is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Prudhoe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Prudhoe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Prudhoe may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
