We're in Beeston, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Santander , and our lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Beeston. Will the conveyancer arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates remained a compulsory component of moving property. An EPC must be commissioned prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not something that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Beeston conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable Beeston assessors
I just bought a house at auction in Beeston. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Now that you are legally committed yourself to purchase you should appoint a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a fast approaching a fixed date to complete the property. Every auction property will have a corresponding auction pack. This will include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property.

It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Beeston bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Beeston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

My wife and I may need to sub-let our Beeston garden flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Beeston conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Beeston do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

I am an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a house in Beeston which will be marketed. The bungalow is unregistered at HMLR and I'm told that some buyers solicitors will insist that it is completed before they'll proceed. What's the mechanism for this?
In the circumstances that you have set out it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
