I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Bletchley property lawyer on the UBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Bletchley. I have a mortgage agreed with Coventry BS. 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 have 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 Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Bletchley accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Bletchley. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Santander?
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, Bletchley conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Santander approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Santander and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to move forward with searches.
I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when acquiring a house in Bletchley? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some owners of property living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for repairs towards the chancel within the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Bletchley?
Unless a prior purchase of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you could expect lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Bletchley to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Bletchley
It is improbable the owners are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your own,trusted Bletchley conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
