I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Rowley Regis. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you assist?

The first thing to do is call the conveyancer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Alternatively you can get in touch with Coventry Building Society who may be able to confirm.

We previously selected solicitors with offices in Rowley Regis on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Rowley Regis solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Rowley Regis bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Rowley Regis conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Your property lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your bank. 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.

Clydesdale have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Rowley Regis has been accepted, what happens next?

Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Clydesdale or the broker and finalise any appropriate documentation. Clydesdale will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to schedule a time for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to get a mortgage offer. Clydesdale will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Rowley Regis.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Rowley Regis. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Rowley Regis

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply a car parking plan.

Should I use a Rowley Regis conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can handle the legal formalities but they are based 300miles away.

The primary upside of using a high street Rowley Regis conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Rowley Regis know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and in the main were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Rowley Regis conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
