My husband and I are purchasing property in Huyton. My Conveyancer is not listed on the bank solicitor list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Huyton conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
Your options include
- Complete the purchase with your chosen Huyton solicitor but your lender will undoubtedly instruct a solicitor from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional fees and probable frustration.
- Get a fresh property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your conveyancing practitioner to attempt to join the bank panel
At what point does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Huyton and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Huyton you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Huyton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am selling my house in Huyton. Does my conveyancer need to be required to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
I have a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Huyton. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Huyton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
