We are purchasing a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Fulwood who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Lloyds . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Fulwood.
I am planning to move house in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Fulwood. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only take place once the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Fulwood or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Fulwood.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Fulwood. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in March. Do I have to wait 6 months 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." Technically you may be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
I'm in the throws of looking at houses in Fulwood and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Aldermore.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Aldermore, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

How does conveyancing in Fulwood differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Fulwood approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Fulwood typically purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Fulwood or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Fulwood before appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not issue a loan on this type of premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can check via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Fulwood. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
