It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Drakes Cross. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down the deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Drakes Cross involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
We are planning to move home in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Drakes Cross. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the selling agent but this can only happen when the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Drakes Cross or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Drakes Cross.
We expect to receive a AIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Drakes Cross solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Drakes Cross solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
About to purchase house in Drakes Cross. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Drakes Cross solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Drakes Cross differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Drakes Cross contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Drakes Cross tend to buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Drakes Cross or who has acted in the same development.
