I can't travel far from Dersingham. What is the rationale as to why all Dersingham are not on all bank panels?

Pre- 2008 most mortgage companies displayed an attitude to risk which differs from the current day. The FSA in 2010 instigated a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the on your panel. As a result, banks have since soughtmore information from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum amount of transactions. Many law practices have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the criteria of amount of transactions the mortgage companies set.

I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Dersingham. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include investigations to see if these works were previously refused?

Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Dersingham can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of works or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Many extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with . I assume I don't need a Dersingham on the panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the mortgage from the register. , and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and

My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Dersingham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Dersingham conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Dersingham. Having lived in Dersingham for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

How does conveyancing in Dersingham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Dersingham come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Dersingham usually 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 used to new build conveyancing in Dersingham or who has acted in the same development.
