My IFA requires my Wick law firm’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have called my local Wick office but they don't know it.
You are best placed to get this information from your Wick conveyancer . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Wick
Two types of professional can conduct conveyancing in Wick namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle the legal services that required to complete the sale or purchase of property. Both are required to carry out Wick conveyancing to the same standards and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly conducted and that all requirements and steps should be correctly taken.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Skipton, do Wick property lawyers face a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, TSB are being pedantic. The Wick solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require chancel insurance when buying a property in Wick? or Apparently there is an ancient law that could mean that homeowners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for maintenance towards the chancel within the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Wick?
Unless a previous acquisition of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors delivering conveyancing in Wick to continue to advocate a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Wick I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wick for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
How does one remove a deceased person's details from the title deeds for a house in Wick?
Where a Wick property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a sale your lawyer would simply need to evidence why the other owner is missing from the transfer, such as a grant of probate.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing smoother for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased party removed from the title entries by submitting an application to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
