Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Radcliffe conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
Radcliffe conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Yorkshire BS directly.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Radcliffe?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the lender to determine if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Radcliffe.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Radcliffe. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Radcliffe?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I'm the only recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Radcliffe. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in November. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers 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. Some lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
Can I be sure that the Radcliffe conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?

I have just started marketing my garden flat in Radcliffe. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and service invoices should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
