I am getting a mortgage with Nat West. I intend to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Washwood Heath. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Washwood Heath. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Washwood Heath relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
I am buying a new build house in Washwood Heath with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’.

22 days into a sale of a flat in Washwood Heath. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we are being charged a fortune by the managing agents. So far we have paid £268 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £118 for answers to queries raised by the purchaser's property lawyer.
Your lawyer will not have any control over the level of the charges for this information however the typical fee for the information for Washwood Heath leasehold premises is £355. When it comes to Washwood Heath conveyancing deals it is usual for the owner to pay for these charges. The freeholder or their agents are under no statutory obligation to address such questions although many will be content to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no legislation that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. There is no legal time frame by which they are required to supply the information.
