Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sunningdale

We are purchasing a 3 bedroom flat in Sunningdale with a mortgage. We have a Sunningdale conveyancer, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or continue with our Sunningdale solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. We regard this is unjust; are we not able to demand that the mortgage company use our Sunningdale solicitor ?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Sunningdale conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

My grandmother passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Sunningdale. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to RBS, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?

If you plan to re-mortgage then RBS will insist on your using a conveyancer on the RBS conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your RBS conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the RBS mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
