I am obtaining a mortgage offer from Lloyds. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Falmouth. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We are aiming to move property in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Falmouth. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent however this should only happen after the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Falmouth or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Falmouth.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Kent Reliance as we want to carry out alterations to our property in Falmouth. Do we need to choose a high street Falmouth solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Kent Reliance would not normally instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance list.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Barclays are being problematic. The Falmouth solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Barclays are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Sixty One years remaining on my lease in Falmouth. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to track down the freeholder. For most situations a specialist would be useful to conduct investigations and prepare a report to be used as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Falmouth.
