My friend's brother is a property lawyer. I hope that I will receive friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Long Eaton?
Do compare pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this site. Whilst amounts seem to vary but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is expelled from the UBS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Long Eaton?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
My friend advised me that if I am purchasing in Long Eaton I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is occasionally included in the estimate for your Long Eaton conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Long Eaton around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Long Eaton Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Long Eaton.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Long Eaton
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Long Eaton. I have land on a web site which appears to be the perfect offering If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via email that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
My husband and I accepted an offer on a Long Eaton ground floor flat we inherited six years ago in 2009. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing know-how and, now retired, intend to do the conveyancing. The purchaser's property lawyer has informed me that their mortgage company will not allow us to do our own conveyancing requiring the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage instructions to conveyancers from all mainstream lenders state that If the seller does not have legal representation the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be notified so that a decision can be made as to whether they are prepared to proceed.
