Much to our surprise we have been advised by our estate agent that my Ashby de la Zouch the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?
You need to call your Ashby de la Zouch conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
When can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Ashby de la Zouch and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Ashby de la Zouch you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Ashby de la Zouch)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Ashby de la Zouch. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Having exchanged you now have to hire the services of a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the purchase. Every auction property should have a bespoke auction set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Ashby de la Zouch. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Ashby de la Zouch?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Ashby de la Zouch. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I'm spending time looking at apartments in Ashby de la Zouch and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with Nottingham.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Ashby de la Zouch with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will affect my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.
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.
My husband and I today become aware that one of the directors of the firm acting on the purchase conveyancing in Ashby de la Zouch is an aunty of the seller. Is this acceptable?
As long as no conflict arises this is permitted. If you are obtaining mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many banks have specific requirements concerning this. For example for Lloyds TSB Scotland as of 9/11/2025, the requirements read as follows :
