We're in Frant, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Leeds Building Society , and our lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We are buying a detached bungalow in Frant. Our aim is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to see if these alterations are prohibited?
Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Frant can occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of alterations or require the permission of another owner. Many additions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
is it true that all Frant solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.
My offer was accepted on a house in Frant on 27/8/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
