My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Glenfield. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Can you advise?
You should phone your conveyancer and ask them whether they can act for the bank. Alternatively please call Aldermore who may be able to help.
Me and my partner are buying a flat in Glenfield. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Glenfield. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Glenfield?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Glenfield building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Glenfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I have been told that property searches are the main cause of hinderance in Glenfield house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Glenfield.
How does conveyancing in Glenfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Glenfield contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Glenfield tend to purchase the site, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Glenfield or who has acted in the same development.

Our sealed bid on house in Glenfield has been agreed to, the vendor does nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, although it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Glenfield. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started with Co-operative?
It is usual to have concerns where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Glenfield conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Co-operative approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and arrange for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Glenfield.
