Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Scunthorpe

When it comes to lenders such as Nottingham, do Scunthorpe solicitors face a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Scunthorpe. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB 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 Scunthorpe conveyancer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I have instructed a Scunthorpe conveyancer having checked that they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Lloyds will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Lloyds will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Scunthorpe postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Scunthorpe.

My wife and I have a renovated Georgian house in Scunthorpe. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Nationwide Building Society to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Scunthorpe and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Scunthorpe is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

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.
