As someone not used to the Gilberdyke conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Gilberdyke

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Gilberdyke or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, property agent and sometimes your bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Gilberdyke should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose interest is to look after your best interests and to protect you.

On occasion a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Gilberdyke. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Gilberdyke?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

When it comes to lenders such as Nationwide, do Gilberdyke solicitors incur an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

We expect to receive a OIP from Nationwide this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Gilberdyke solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

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

I purchased my home on 10 November and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Gilberdyke said it will be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Gilberdyke uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Gilberdyke registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property so 'speed' is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
