I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Saffron Walden. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Saffron Walden conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Saffron Walden surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

How does conveyancing in Saffron Walden differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Saffron Walden contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Saffron Walden typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Saffron Walden or who has acted in the same development.

My folks are encountering difficulties in finding their Saffron Walden property on the HMLR online search facility. They have a vague recollection fifty years ago when they bought the house there were complications concerning the post code not being identified on some systems.
Nearly all premises in Saffron Walden should show up. Have you limited your search to just the postcode. Normally it will reveal all the houses and flats inside the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title papers which could be with your parent’s bank.
