We're in Urmston, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nottingham 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.
My lawyer has informed me that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Urmston conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Urmston. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Urmston agreed to, the vendors do however have an associated purchase. The owners have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Urmston. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Urmston conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Urmston.
I need some expedited conveyancing in Urmston as I am faced with a deadline to sign on the dotted line within one month. A home loan is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

With plenty of history conveyancing in Urmston the following are instances of issues that can appear and therefore impact market value: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Urmston I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Urmston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
Am I best advised to go with a Urmston conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am buying? We have a good friend who can handle the conveyancing however her office is 400kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Urmston conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Urmston conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
