I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Heacham to complete within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?
Where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they would have handled otherproperties in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Heacham conveyancing firm. In addition, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is estimated that 18% of Heacham conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the conveyancing being held up by an average of 21 days. It is believed that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home sales annually. Most Heacham conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.

Can I be sure that the Heacham conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Heacham obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.
I am expecting a OIP from RBS 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 RBS recommend any Heacham solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Heacham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Heacham. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Heacham - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
