You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Lyddington or throughout Rutland is often a confrontational process.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Lyddington. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Lyddington bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Lyddington conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Lyddington agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Lyddington. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Lyddington conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Nottingham approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Nottingham and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Lyddington ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders will not give a loan on a flying freehold home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Lyddington.

My step-son is just in the process of moving house, he had his mortgage in principle. When the offer was accepted on apartment we telephoned the lender to issue the formal offer. We were disappointed to discover that banks do not accept all conveyancer, they have to be on a list, is this correct?
Banks normally imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Lyddington conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
