I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Hall Green lawyer on the Lloyds panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Hall Green 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
How does conveyancing in Hall Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hall Green contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Hall Green usually buy the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hall Green or who has acted in the same development.
