Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fenny Stratford

Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Fenny Stratford but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of £2k taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Kent Reliance are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?

The property lawyer that is on the Kent Reliance approved list is duty bound to advise Kent Reliance of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Fenny Stratford.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Fenny Stratford. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out 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 who will take matters further.

It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Fenny Stratford bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Fenny Stratford conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Provided that the conveyancer is on the bank panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

My offer was accepted on a house in Fenny Stratford on 27/12/2024, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Are Co-operative entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
