I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Nat West. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Countesthorpe. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my rented apartment in Countesthorpe by 2/2/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice for your tenancy until your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not previously done so, update to your solicitor and request that they seek the assistance the sellers side, try to an agreed time frame that all parties will work to achieve
My fiance and I wish to acquire a newly converted apartment in Countesthorpe with a loan from Skipton Building Society.We have a Countesthorpe conveyancing lawyer but Skipton Building Society advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Skipton Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Skipton Building Society approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Skipton Building Society
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Countesthorpe and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Countesthorpe. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Countesthorpe area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Countesthorpe. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Countesthorpe
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Countesthorpe conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
Our conveyancing in Countesthorpe is completing on Friday, however the owners I am buying off wants to move out the next day at noon. Do I accept this?
It is not possible to complete on a Saturday because the bank systems are not operating.
