Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thornton Cleveleys

I am buying property in Thornton Cleveleys. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Can I still use my Thornton Cleveleys conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

You will need to have a solicitor to deal with the legal work required when you take out a loan to purchase your property. They will carry out all the relevant investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One could instruct a Thornton Cleveleys solicitor of your choosing. However, where the conveyancing practitioner selected is not a member of the mortgage company approved list further charges will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not historically applied for membership they should do so.

How do I find out if the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Thornton Cleveleys is on the lender’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Leeds Building Society thus paying £192.00 in supplemental legal costs.

Please do take advantage of the search tool on this page. Please choose the lender and type ‘Thornton Cleveleys’ or your location and you will be presented with a number of lawyer located in Thornton Cleveleys or by proximity to you.

I have been told that property searches are a common cause of delay in Thornton Cleveleys conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Thornton Cleveleys.

I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Thornton Cleveleys. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Thornton Cleveleys and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Thornton Cleveleys is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Thornton Cleveleys are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Thornton Cleveleys you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thornton Cleveleys may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My step-father has suggested that I use his conveyancers in Thornton Cleveleys. Do I follow his guidance?

There are no two ways about it the ideal way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to get feedback from friends or family who have actually experience in using the solicitor you're are thinking of instructing.
