As someone clueless as to the Newport Pagnell conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me for the house moving process in Newport Pagnell
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Newport Pagnell and elsewhere in Buckinghamshire is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Newport Pagnell should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
There is a distinct emergence in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. You must always trust your lawyer ahead of all other players in the conveyancing process.

I am planning to move property in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Newport Pagnell. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the estate agent but this can only happen after the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. You can inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Newport Pagnell or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Newport Pagnell.
I am the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Newport Pagnell. The Newport Pagnell property was put into my name in March. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Most banks would take a sensible view as this obligation is principally there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Newport Pagnell lawyer on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I am attracted to a two apartments in Newport Pagnell which have about forty five years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
