Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Maltby. Please spell out why all Maltby conveyancing practitioners are not on all mortgage company panels?
As unjust as it may seem for banks to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s perspective, the flip side is that mortgage companies are becoming ever more anxious and regard it essential to shield themselves from illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies have consolidated their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.
Completed the sale of my flat in Maltby last April yet the purchaser is texting me to say her lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your conveyancer is duty bound to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer.

I am refinancing my flat in Maltby, does my lawyer have to be on the Lloyds Conveyancing panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, but Lloyds would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
I can see plenty of here regarding conveyancing in Maltby but what is your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Maltby
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Maltby conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel).

My sealed bid on a house in Maltby has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Maltby. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Maltby conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with searches.
I'm buying a new build house in Maltby with a loan from TSB. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead.

We expect to complete our sale of a £225,000 maisonette in Maltby next Thursday. The landlords agents has quoted £348 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Maltby?
Maltby conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually requires the buyer’s conveyancer submitting enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries the majority will be content to do so. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is above £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the invoice is technically not due. In reality you have little option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to sell the property.
