We're in Brimsdown, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Brimsdown bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Brimsdown conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The solicitor must comply with the CML Handbook section two provisions for your bank. 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
How does conveyancing in Brimsdown differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Brimsdown contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Brimsdown tend to buy the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Brimsdown or who has acted in the same development.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Brimsdown
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Brimsdown conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
