If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Kegworth what would it be?

It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Kegworth conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Nottingham, do Kegworth lawyers face an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Kegworth property lawyer on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Co-operative 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 Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, 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:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Various online forums that I have come across warn that are the number one cause of obstruction in Kegworth conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Kegworth.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Kegworth?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Kegworth. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Me and my husband are selling a Kegworth bungalow left to us ten years ago in 2009. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing experience and, although retired, intend to undertake my own conveyancing. The buyer's conveyancing practitioner has informed me that their Lenders will not allow you to do your own conveyancing insisting the funds to be released via a solicitor's bank account.

Mortgage instructions to conveyancers from all mainstream lenders specify that If the seller is not legally represented the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be notified so that a decision can be reached if they are prepared to move forward.
