I am considering applying for a UBS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Swadlincote with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for UBS ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Are all Swadlincote Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Swadlincote conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for Kent Reliance to issue the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Kent Reliance completed the survey? Have you advised Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Swadlincote building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Swadlincote conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Swadlincote I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Swadlincote for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Swadlincote
It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Swadlincote conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
