Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Mobberley who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Chelsea Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Better the devil I know or should I seek out an alternative conveyancer?
The quote is slightly on the expensive side. Where you are prepared to invest time contrasting prices you could shave off some of the cost by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were content with the conveyancing the firm offered you couldlive to rue opting for an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to ensure the conveyancer can represent Chelsea Building Society.

My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a house in Mobberley and my parents have transferred the exchange deposit to my lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the lender regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The conveyancing practitioner is legally required to clarify with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Mobberley. The Mobberley property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
Is it the case that all Mobberley CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nottingham conveyancing list of approved firms?
It is true that some lenders now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.
Can I be sure that the Mobberley conveyancing solicitor on the Lloyds panel is any good?

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Mobberley I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Mobberley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you.
