I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Stroud for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage lenders Accord Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

Mortgage Companies on the whole restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the amount of firms they use to act for them. Be aware that Accord Mortgages Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Accord Mortgages Ltd Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there remains differing opinions about the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Stroud only carry out very few conveyances a year.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Stroud registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not typically top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in Stroud differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Stroud come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Stroud tend to 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Stroud or who has acted in the same development.

If you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
