We're in Green Street Green, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Clydesdale , and our solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner 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.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Green Street Green what would it be?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Green Street Green conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We had chosen conveyancers based in Green Street Green on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Aldermore but by your Green Street Green lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Aldermore panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Green Street Green with the purpose of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Green Street Green can be reduced where you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Green Street Green state that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. Where you fail to have the approvals to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer first. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share document. Arranging a replacement share certificate can be a time consuming formality and delays many a Green Street Green conveyancing deal. If a new share certificate is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. Some Green Street Green leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers.
