Can you help? My Telford lawyer is advising me that he has toorder Telford conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Nat Westapproved lawyer panel. Is my conveyancer correct?

You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a home loan with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Telford conveyancing searches.

We are planning to acquire a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Telford who is on the Coventry BS approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Coventry BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Telford.

My wife and I purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Telford. Our aim is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal work on the property include checks to see if these alterations are allowed?

Your solicitor should review the deeds as conveyancing in Telford can sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain works or need the consent of a 3rd party. Some works require local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Aldermore, do Telford conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Telford conveyancing practitioners were selected. How long does it take for Aldermore to issue the offer to the conveyancer?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore completed the valuation? Have you advised Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for stalling in Telford house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Telford.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Telford 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?

You no longer need to have the physical official documentation to evidence that you own the land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Telford

It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Telford conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
