We are planning to purchase with Melton Mowbray Building Society. We have called around locally yet am unable to find a Clayton conveyancing firm on the Melton Mowbray Building Society panel. Could you help?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Clayton. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Clayton?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

I am the single beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Clayton. The Clayton property was put into my name in October. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in October. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. many banks would take a practical view as this provision is chiefly there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being a right pain. The Clayton solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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.

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Clayton should include some of the following:

I acquired a split level flat in Clayton, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2004. How much will my lease extension cost? Corresponding flats in Clayton with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2085

With 61 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.

I previously advised by my mortgage company that their panel lawyers work on no sale no charge basis for conveyancing in Clayton. I had a purchase fall through nevertheless the solicitors have requested search fees! They say the fees are seperate!

in offering "no move no fee" Clayton conveyancing lawyers are waiving their fees for any work done. We must stress this does not constitute an insurance scheme. you will still be expected to pay for any disbursements that your conveyancer has incurred on your behalf for example Clayton local authority searches
