Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Claverley who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I try and find an alternative property lawyer?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the high side. If you are happy to invest time comparing prices you might reduce the fees slightly by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, assuming were happy with the conveyancing the firm offered you mightlive to rue choosing an an unknown conveyancer. Remember to be sure that the conveyancer can also act for The Mortgage Works. Do make use of our search tool to get a quote a Claverley conveyancing firm on the The Mortgage Works conveyancing panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Claverley.
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Claverley. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Claverley relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
We're in Claverley, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

We previously appointed conveyancers locally in Claverley on the Santander solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a further fee for handling the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Santander but by your Claverley solicitor. Some firms on the Santander panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Claverley. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
Clydesdale must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel lawyer.
How does conveyancing in Claverley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Claverley contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Claverley usually acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Claverley or who has acted in the same development.
