My conveyancer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Goole. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
We are planning to purchase with Loughborough BS. I went into a few local practices but am struggling to find a Goole conveyancing firm on the Loughborough BS approved list. Please you help?

We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
My fiancee and I are in the throws of looking at apartments in Goole and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it sensible to have a conveyancer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Coventry BS.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Goole 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
As long as the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your house and secure current copies of the property title for a small fee. If 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 obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
My conveyancing solicitor in Goole is asking me for proof of ID documents asserting that this is part of his requirements as a solicitor on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. This is news to me - can I refuse?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not specific to conveyancing in Goole
