Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Burslem

My fiance and I are intent on buying residence in Burslem. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender approved panel. Is it possible for me to appoint my Burslem conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender list of approved lawyers?

You have a number of options available to you here

  • Proceed with your chosen Burslem property lawyer but your bank will undoubtedly retain a conveyancer on their approved list. This will result in additional cost together with probable frustration.
  • Get a new conveyancer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to join the mortgage company conveyancing panel

There is lots of here about conveyancing in Burslem but what is your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Burslem

We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Burslem conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am purchasing a property in Burslem. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must follow the formal instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Burslem.

It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Burslem bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Burslem conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?

Your lawyer must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 requirements 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 remaining.

I require fast conveyancing in Burslem as I have an ultimatum to complete inside 3 weeks. A home loan is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are are a cash buyer you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no lawyer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Burslem the following are examples of what can arise and adversely impact the marketability of the property: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Burslem 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to locate all the suitable documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Burslem I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burslem suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
