Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Swanland

My home in Swanland is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does my lawyer need to be required to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.

Me and my partner are purchasing a property in Swanland. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to deposit money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

I'm the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Swanland. The Swanland property was put into my name in February. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in February. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is principally there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
