We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would much rather appoint a Darley Abbey based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the lender to ask if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Darley Abbey.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Darley Abbey. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Darley Abbey?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

Is it correct that all Darley Abbey CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Virgin Money conveyancing list of approved solicitors?

Some major lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Darley Abbey building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Darley Abbey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Your conveyancer has to comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. 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 left on the lease.

Just bought a detached house in Darley Abbey , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Darley Abbey conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration is concluded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Darley Abbey registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property so an expedited registration is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Darley Abbey in advance of instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Darley Abbey. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
