We're in Luton, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Luton. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange the energy assessment or do I organise this?

After the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments remained a compulsory component of moving property. An energy assessment must be to hand before the property is marketed. It is not a task that solicitors normally organise. If you are instructing a Luton conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange energy assessments given their relationships with reputable local assessors

How does conveyancing in Luton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Luton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Luton typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Luton or who has acted in the same development.

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Luton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Luton may decide 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 premises.
