We are hoping to acquire a 3 bedroom flat in Stonehouse with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Stonehouse solicitor, but the lender advise he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little choice but to select one of the mortgage company panel firms or continue with our Stonehouse conveyancing practitioner and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We consider that this is inequitable; are we not able to demand that the bank use our Stonehouse lawyer ?

No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Stonehouse conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

We're in Stonehouse, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

How does conveyancing in Stonehouse differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Stonehouse come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Stonehouse usually purchase the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Stonehouse or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Stonehouse I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stonehouse suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
