We're in Milnrow, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer 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 decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Milnrow prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold property.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Sixty One years remaining on my flat in Milnrow. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have used your best endeavours to locate the lessor. On the whole an enquiry agent may be helpful to try and locate and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Milnrow.

Myself and my partner have just had an offer accepted on a house and had an appointment on Friday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to choosing a lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will be subject to an an extra charge of £250+. This is because they would then have to appoint a conveyancer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice. I have requested HSBC to provide me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. What would be the best way of going about this?
Ask HSBC what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Another option is to make use of our search facility and we should be able to identify a conveyancer in Milnrow on the approved list for HSBC.
