I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented apartment in Becontree by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Becontree conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?

My husband and I have organised the release of further funds on our mortgage from Lloyds as we intend to conduct renovations to our property in Becontree. Do we need to choose a local Becontree solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Becontree. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Becontree agreed to, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have offered on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Becontree. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with HSBC going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Becontree conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
