Having sold my house in Aylesbury last November yet the purchaser is whats apping every few hours complaining that her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your lawyer should send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also confirm that the home loan has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks specific conveyancing in Aylesbury.
My husband and I wish to acquire a 3 bedroom flat in Aylesbury with a mortgage from Aldermore.We like our Aylesbury conveyancing lawyer but Aldermore says his firm is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Aldermore panel firm or retain our local solicitor and fork out for a Aldermore panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Aldermore solicitor panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Aylesbury
It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest Aylesbury conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Aylesbury. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Barclays are being a right pain. The Aylesbury solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Barclays are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Aylesbury both have in the region of 50 years left on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Aylesbury. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
