Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Laceby

My wife and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Laceby with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Laceby lawyer, however the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have no choice but to select one of the mortgage company panel conveyancing practices or continue with our Laceby property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms 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. A further alternative is for your Laceby conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Please could you recommend a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society accepted Laceby conveyancing conveyancer finish our home move within two weeks? Am I best advised to choose a local Laceby practice or an online firm?

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Laceby for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Chelsea Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

A mortgage company can direct that an approved solicitor act for it. You would be expected to meet the cost of this. Do use our directory service to select a solicitor to conduct conveyancing in Laceby on the Chelsea Building Society member panel.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Laceby I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Laceby suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Taking into account that I will soon spend 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Laceby I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding theconveyancing before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer who will be conducting your property ownership legalities in Laceby.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a matter reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Laceby should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
