Some advice if I may. My Belbroughton conveyancer is advising me that he has toconduct Belbroughton conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydssolicitor panel. Do I not have any options here?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook requirements .

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Belbroughton. I have a mortgage offer with Nottingham. 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 Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the primary reason for hinderance in Belbroughton conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Belbroughton.

How does conveyancing in Belbroughton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Belbroughton contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Belbroughton typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Belbroughton or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Belbroughton prior to instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a loan on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Belbroughton. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Belbroughton especially if they are familiar with such properties in Belbroughton.
