I have just started taking steps with the intention of transferring my domestic loan to a BTL Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I require a solicitor as part of the process. I got in contact with my past Normanton conveyancing solicitor who who completed the conveyancing when I first bought the premises. The costs illustration provided of £550 is surprising as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a bog-standard refinance.

Aldermore have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a apartment in Normanton has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will want to be advised as to your solicitor's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact Aldermore or the broker and finish off any outstanding forms. Aldermore will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Aldermore will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Normanton.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Normanton accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Normanton. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Normanton conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Normanton.
I purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Normanton. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Virgin Money. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Virgin Money to clarify?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Normanton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Normanton
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Normanton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
