I am considering applying for a RBS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Greasby with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for RBS ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the RBS conveyancing panel, but RBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
We are purchasing a flat in Greasby. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
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.
We were going to get a OIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Greasby solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Greasby solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Aldermore are being pedantic. The Greasby solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Aldermore are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Greasby , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Greasby conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Greasby registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Greasby is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Greasby are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Greasby you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Greasby may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
