As someone clueless as to the Bures conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Bures
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Bures and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and sometimes your lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Bures is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a newly converted flat in Bures with a residential mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society.We use our Bures conveyancing lawyer but Yorkshire Building Society informed us he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Yorkshire Building Society panel firm or retain our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society

I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Bures bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Bures conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
