Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wavertree

I am acquiring residence in Wavertree. My lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Wavertree conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

Various options include

  • Proceed with your existing Wavertree conveyancing practitioner but your lender will undoubtedly retain a solicitor on their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional charges together with probable frustration.
  • Appoint a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
  • Appeal to your conveyancer to seek to join the mortgage company panel

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Barclays Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wavertree?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

When it comes to lenders such as Clydesdale, do Wavertree property lawyers have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Wavertree. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?

Virgin Money must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Virgin Money will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel lawyer.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Wavertree. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

I purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Wavertree. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Alliance & Leicester . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Wavertree and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

I am buying a new build apartment in Wavertree. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
