What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Lingfield?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Lingfield or throughout Surrey is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the house moving process.

My apartment in Lingfield is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the solicitor need to be required to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Yorkshire BS. Lingfield conveyancing practitioners were appointed. How long does it take for Yorkshire BS to send the offer to the lawyer?

I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Lingfield building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Lingfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
