I am being advised by my solicitor that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Shrewton?
The right level of chancel indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Chelsea Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
Is it the case that all Shrewton CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We had instructed conveyancing lawyers based in Shrewton on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate amount for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Shrewton conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Aldermore panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I moved into my home on 1 September and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Shrewton expressed confidence that it will be concluded in less than a month. Are transfers in Shrewton particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Shrewton registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Shrewton
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Shrewton conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
