I am considering applying for a Kent Reliance mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Buckingham with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Kent Reliance will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Buckingham. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Buckingham?

On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Buckingham. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

Please help - my lawyer says that missing deeds insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Buckingham?

The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, RBS are being a right pain. The Buckingham solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but RBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the primary reason for delay in Buckingham house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Buckingham.

My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Buckingham. I am am starting to be disappointed with the level of service. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

A conveyancer would need to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been generated? In the event that it has you must inform them of the new contact details and get the loan are issued to the new lawyers. Your new conveyancer should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental costs and frustration. That should be your starting point. The search tool will assist you in finding a bank approved lawyer for your home move in Buckingham

I need to change lawyers as my Buckingham lawyer is not on the bank's panel of conveyancing solicitors. How simple is it to change conveyancer?

In the event that you have not formally appointed a solicitor to do anything for you and at this stage simply received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Buckingham that you're thinking of instructing.
