We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Darley Abbey 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Darley Abbey. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in November. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this clause principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Darley Abbey. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the solicitor called me to say that they were not on the RBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the RBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in Darley Abbey it shows results of numerous solicitorsin the area. How do I determine which is the right conveyancer for purchase transaction?

Fees for conveyancing in Darley Abbey differ, so it's a good idea to secure at least four fee calculations from varying types of property lawyers.

What makes a Darley Abbey lease problematic?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Darley Abbey. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the premises

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, Virgin Money, and Aldermore all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to pull out.
