Me and my partner are buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Port Isaac with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Port Isaac lawyer, but the bank says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have no choice but to use one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Port Isaac solicitor as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We regard this is inequitable; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Port Isaac conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
I am helping my sister sell her flat in Port Isaac. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy assessment or should I organise this?
Following the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates was kept a required element of moving property. An EPC should be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. It is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Port Isaac conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established Port Isaac providers
We are planning to move house in November. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Port Isaac. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the estate agent however this can only be done when the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Port Isaac or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Port Isaac.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Port Isaac conveyancing practitioner on the Nottingham panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Port Isaac 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
