My Solicitor in Earl Shilton is not on the Aldermore Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Aldermore panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Earl Shilton solicitors but Aldermore will need to instruct a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees as well as cause delays.
- Choose a new practitioner to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are Aldermore approved.
- Persuade your Aldermore solicitor to attempt to join the Aldermore panel
I am the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Earl Shilton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates 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 could be impacted by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
is it true that all Earl Shilton solicitor firms on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Earl Shilton agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Earl Shilton. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Barclays?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Earl Shilton conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to move forward with the conveyancing in Earl Shilton.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Earl Shilton?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Earl Shilton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please supply a car parking plan. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
