My mortgage broker requires my Sileby lawyer’ panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have tried my local Sileby office but they cant find it on their system.
You are best placed to get this information from your Sileby conveyancing practitioner . Most Sileby conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
I am buying a detached bungalow in Sileby. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property involve investigations to see if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Sileby will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain alterations or need the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I am the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Sileby. The Sileby property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in March. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
I am purchasing a property in Sileby. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Santander have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Santander your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Santander where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Sileby.
My partner and I are intent on selling our house in Sileby and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Sileby conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sileby. We have lived in Sileby for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Sileby. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Sileby
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

There are numerous houses in Sileby on unadopted roads. My husband and I are purchasing such a house. Are there any advantages to purchasing a property on a privately owned road?
Sileby conveyancing lawyers will be well versed in transacting homeson private. The lawyer will review the title to identify any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a residents association that owners make annual payments to maintain the road. Where there is one, the road will likely be maintained and look better than council maintained.
