I am looking for value for money conveyancer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer rather than a family Acle conveyancing solicitor?
Acle is a special area, where local knowledge is a significant benefit. The relaxed pace of life has it’s attractions – but not when it comes to your conveyancing. The conveyancers that we work with providing wide Acle know how with a positive, hands-onapproach that ensures everything runs smoothly. It is a distinct advantage if they can make use of good rapport with financial advisers, local authorities, surveyors and other Acle conveyancing firms
I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented property in Acle by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice for your letting unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your conveyancer and ask them to they cajole the other solicitors, try to a target completion date that all parties will look towards

A friend informed me that in buying a property in Acle there could be various restrictions preventing external alterations to a property. Is this right?
There are a number of properties in Acle which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Acle should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Acle conveyancer on the Aldermore panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore 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 Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Coventry BS. Is it usual for Coventry BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Acle is approved on their conveyancing panel? Coventry BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am purchasing my first flat in Acle benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Acle is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Acle are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Acle you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Acle may determine 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.
