Is it the case that all St Helens CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the TSB conveyancing list of approved firms?
Some major banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Coventry BS are being difficult. The St Helens solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS 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.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in St Helens , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My St Helens conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in St Helens is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in St Helens I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in St Helens in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

New build sellers have put forward a solicitor and I've received an estimate from them. It's nearly £400 less expensive than my local St Helens conveyancer. What's the catch?
Housebuilders normally have lists of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the builder's documentation and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder will not put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they need an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancing practitioner is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street St Helens property lawyer.
