I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Mildenhall for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being pedantic. The Mildenhall solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Mildenhall. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Mildenhall solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a house in Mildenhall has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Lloyds or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant paperwork. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Mildenhall.
We are buying a property and the conveyancer has mentioned Chancel Repair to which the property may be obligated to pay given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this really required for conveyancing in Mildenhall
Unless a previous purchase of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers conducting conveyancing in Mildenhall to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I completed on my house on 7 August and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Mildenhall said it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Mildenhall particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Mildenhall registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any third parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Am I better off to choose a Mildenhall conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? An old friend can execute the legal work however his firm is located approximately 350miles away.
