I am acquiring a flat in Miles Platting. My Solicitor is not on the lender conveyancing panel. Can I still use my Miles Platting conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel?
One must have a lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you require a loan to buy your home. They will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can instruct a Miles Platting conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, where the conveyancing practitioner selected is not on the lender approved list further charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your solicitor has not historically sought membership they can do so.
We are nearing an exchange on a flat in Miles Platting and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?
Your property lawyer is legally required to check with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Just acquired a semi-detached house in Miles Platting , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Miles Platting conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the land registry aspects are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Miles Platting registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Miles Platting I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Miles Platting in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
