Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hook Norton

I am obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Hook Norton. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?

The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Santander Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Hook Norton?

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.

We had chosen conveyancing lawyers based in Hook Norton on the Coventry BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for the legal aspects of the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Coventry BS?

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Hook Norton conveyancer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Hook Norton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Nottingham be concerned?

As your lender is Nottingham your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Nottingham where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Hook Norton.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Hook Norton. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £200. Not long after, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Hook Norton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hook Norton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
