What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Henllys?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Henllys and elsewhere in Torfaen is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, property agent and even potentially the mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Henllys is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a definite emergence in the "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you should always trust your conveyancer above the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
Is it the case that all Henllys CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel?
A selection of lenders now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Henllys. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease does not comply with these specifications. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Henllys.
I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Henllys building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Henllys conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your property lawyer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your lender. 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
