I am not in a position to travel far from Irby. Is there a reason why all Irby lawyers aren't included on all bank panels?

Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This led to lenders purging a number of firms from their panel of approved conveyancers .

I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Irby but can you isolate your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Irby

Do not opt for the lowest Irby conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay 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.

I am assisting my aunt sell her flat in Irby. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an EPC or do I organise this?

After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a required component of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Irby conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established Irby assessors

I am due to move property in December. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Irby. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the property agent however this can only happen once the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Irby or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Irby.

My wife and I have a renovated Georgian property in Irby. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Britannia to clarify?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Irby and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

I'm buying a new build house in Irby with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it may impact my loan with Leeds Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
