AssumingI were to buy a simple residential homein Skegness mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Skegness?

The only saving you would make on is the costs for searches. The conveyancer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers lawyer, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it won't be meaningful.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Skegness? Is this really necessary?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign should confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Should you refuse to hand over ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.

I am purchasing a property in Skegness. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Santander be concerned?

As your lender is Santander your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Santander where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Skegness.

I am expecting a OIP from UBS 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 UBS recommend any Skegness solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Skegness solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Lloyds are being a right pain. The Skegness solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Various online forums that I have come across warn that are the main reason for delay in Skegness conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Skegness.

It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Skegness took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 asset 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.
