I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Elmstead?

We were going to get a OIP from Virgin Money this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Virgin Money recommend any Elmstead solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Elmstead solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Virgin Money through the process.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Elmstead accepted, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Elmstead. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Elmstead conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are a common cause of stalling in Elmstead conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Elmstead.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my father I am selling a property in Swansea but reside in Elmstead. My solicitor (approximately 300 miles from meneeds me to execute a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Elmstead to witness this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Elmstead based
