Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the Nationwide Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Stanford Le Hope?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Stanford Le Hope. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Stanford Le Hope?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Stanford Le Hope. The Stanford Le Hope property was put into my name in October. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Some banks would take a pragmatic view as this requirement primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Stanford Le Hope off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
