I am obtaining a mortgage with Santander. I intend to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Allenton. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Completed the sale of my flat in Allenton last May but our buyer keeps SMS messaging me to say her lawyer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened following completion?
Following your sale your solicitor is obliged to forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also evidence that the home loan has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Allenton.
Can you point me to a directory of Aldermore panel conveyancers in Allenton on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings open the public over the internet. If you are seeking to appoint a Allenton lawyer on the Aldermore please make the most of our tool.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Allenton conveyancing solicitors were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Co-operative conducted the survey? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
UBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Allenton has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Call up UBS or the broker and finalise any appropriate forms. UBS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. UBS will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Allenton.

What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Allenton conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Allenton conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you make enquires with several firms including non Allenton conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be useful:
-
How experienced is the practice with lease extension legislation? Can they put you in touch with clients in Allenton who can give a testimonial?

My wife and I hope to purchase our first house in Allenton. Conveyancing solicitor has been selected. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not necessary as the property was only constructed in 1997.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is over 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. They will highlight any apparent issues and recommend additional investigation where appropriate. Where there are any indications of problems seek a full structural survey.
