My mortgage broker has asked me for my Gaydon solicitor’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have contacted my local Gaydon branch but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried speaking to your Gaydon lawyer about this?. Most Gaydon law firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
My wife and I purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Gaydon. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property include enquiries to see if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Gaydon will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of alterations or need the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Gaydon. The Gaydon property was put into my name in March. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. many banks would take a sensible view as this clause primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Gaydon. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Leeds Building Society your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease does not meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Gaydon.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Gaydon 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be documented by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.

My wife and I have selected a Gaydon conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (novice purchasers) and have spotted in the terms and conditions that they are not governed by the FCA. Should I be concerned or is that the norm with conveyancer?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who have strict laws covering amounts deposited on client account.
