I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a Banstead based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers where you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the lender to ask if they allow a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Banstead.
My father informed me that in purchasing a property in Banstead there could be a number of restrictions prohibiting external changes to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Banstead which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Banstead should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We are planning to move property in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Banstead. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your estate agent however this should only take place once the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Banstead or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Banstead.

I moved into my flat on 14 October and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Banstead expressed confidence that it should be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Banstead uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Banstead registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Banstead differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Banstead approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Banstead typically purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Banstead or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Banstead is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Banstead are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Banstead you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Banstead 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 property.
