My fiance and I are purchasing a purpose built flat in Haddenham with a loan from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We would like to retain our Haddenham conveyancing solicitor but Platform Home Loans Ltd advised that she’s not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Haddenham
There are two types of lawyers who can conduct conveyancing in Haddenham namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors.

I have a mortgage with Clydesdale for my property in Haddenham. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Clydesdale?
Your original mortgage agreement with Clydesdale will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Clydesdale’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Clydesdale will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Clydesdale directly. You need not do this via a Clydesdale conveyancing panel lawyer.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Haddenham accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Haddenham. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Haddenham conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Nationwide approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.
I purchased my home on 4 November and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Haddenham expressed confidence that it should be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Haddenham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Haddenham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises thus registration formalities is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Haddenham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Haddenham come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Haddenham tend to 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 conveyancers 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 Haddenham or who has acted in the same development.
I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Haddenham. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the invoice as you normally would as all rents and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
