Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Waterhouses

My financial adviser has requested my Waterhouses lawyer’ panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have e-mailed my local Waterhouses office but they have not responded to me.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Waterhouses conveyancer . Most Waterhouses conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.

It is is a decade since I bought my property in Waterhouses. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Waterhouses involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Waterhouses. I need to find out if they are on the Britannia conveyancing panel. Could you advise?

You should e-mail the lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can call Britannia who may be able to confirm.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Waterhouses with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it will put at risk my loan with Chelsea Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.

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%.
