Can conveyancing in Haslemere to be done in under 10 days?
In the event that the seller is applying time constraints to sign contracts we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and insight. It is even conceivable that they may have transacted otherproperties in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Haslemere conveyancing lawyer. Second, be sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is understood that nearly one in five of Haslemere conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks member panel. This can often result in the transaction being delayed by as much as three weeks. It is said that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Almost all Haslemere conveyancing practices can not act for certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Haslemere. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Haslemere?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We were going to get a DIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Haslemere solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Haslemere solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Haslemere bank branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Haslemere conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 left on the lease.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Haslemere is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Haslemere are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Haslemere you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Haslemere 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 residence.

Why is New Build conveyancing in Haslemere more costly?
Buying a new build home is completely distinct from the standard house buying conveyancing in Haslemere. Firstly housebuilders usually demand contracts to exchange within a tight deadline, the result being a lot of pressure on your property lawyer to make sure all is in order. Furthermore new build premises often involve the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Bank obligations are also more detailed. Given the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
