Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Fallowfield who acted for me two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I try and find an alternative property lawyer?
The quote is slightly on the high side. Where you are content to spend time comparing charges you may be able to decrease the fees marginally by say £125. That being said, assuming were satisfied with the conveyancing the firm gave you mightcome to regret opting for an a cheaper solicitor. Don't forget to be sure that the solicitor can also act for Godiva Mortgages Ltd. You can utilise our search tool to get a quote a Fallowfield conveyancing firm on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Fallowfield.
Our grandson is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Fallowfield with a home loan from Aldermore. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Are the Fallowfield conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Nationwide?

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Co-operative, do Fallowfield property lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I'm in the throws of viewing flats in Fallowfield and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this point? I am planning to take a home loan with Coventry BS.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Coventry BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Fallowfield. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Fallowfield I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fallowfield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
