I plan on purchasing residence in West Heath. My Solicitor has never been on on the mortgage company approved panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my West Heath conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
Your options include
- Carry on with your existing West Heath property lawyer but your mortgage company will no doubt appoint a property lawyer from their approved panel. This will result in additional charges and probable frustration.
- Get a fresh conveyancing practitioner to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to do everything possible to get listed on the bank’s conveyancing panel
I am in a contract race with another prospective purchaser for a property in West Heath. What can I do to expedite matters?
In a situation where you are under a tight deadline to complete it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and insight. It is possible that they would have handled previousproperties in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a West Heath conveyancing lawyer. In addition, double check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of West Heath conveyancing deals are held up or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the buying process being frustrated by an average of three weeks. It is understood that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Almost all West Heath conveyancing firms can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in West Heath I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in West Heath for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my uncle I am selling a property in Cardiff but I am based in West Heath. My lawyer (approximately 200 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in West Heath to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are located in West Heath
