Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sandringham

It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Sandringham. Conveyancing solicitors have just been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your lender or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Sandringham relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Sandringham?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. 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.

My solicitor has informed me that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Sandringham conveyancing?

The right level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and Virgin Money. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

Are all Sandringham Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel?

Some major lenders now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Sandringham solicitor - who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Sandringham surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are a common reason for hinderance in Sandringham conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Sandringham.

I have justdiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Sandringham for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Sandringham conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Sandringham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Sandringham contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Sandringham tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Sandringham or who has acted in the same development.
