When does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Penley and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Penley you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Penley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am considering applying for a Nationwide mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Penley with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nationwide will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
A colleague pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Penley there may be a number of restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external alterations to a property. Is this right?

I am the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Penley. The Penley property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs 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 may be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Penley bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Penley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Your property lawyer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
