I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Santander. I hope to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Arlesey. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
The property market in Arlesey is hotting up. What can I do to speed up matters?
In a situation where the seller is applying a tight deadline to exchange we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local contacts and insight. It is possible that they would have handled previousproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Arlesey conveyancing firm. In addition, check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that nearly one in five of Arlesey conveyancing deals are held up or derailed after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the buying process being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is said that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home sales every year. Almost all Arlesey conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.
I have been advised by my solicitor that lack of building regulations insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Arlesey conveyancing?
The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I am the single beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Arlesey. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is principally there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
Can I be sure that the Arlesey conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Arlesey. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Arlesey
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Arlesey I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Arlesey in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
