I can't travel far from Warwick. Please explain the reason why all Warwick conveyancers are not on all bank panels?
Banks highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It led to lenders pruning less reputable firms off their panel of approved property lawyers .

We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers locally in Warwick on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional amount for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Warwick property lawyer. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Warwick agreed to, the sellers do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Warwick. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Warwick conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the Co-operative approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
How does conveyancing in Warwick differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Warwick contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Warwick tend to purchase 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 Warwick or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Warwick is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Warwick are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Warwick you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Warwick may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
