Much to our surprise we have been informed by our mortgage adviser that my Glossop the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to check?
You need to contact your Glossop lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Glossop conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
Our solicitor has discovered a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Glossop. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your property lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Glossop is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Glossop are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Glossop you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Glossop may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
