As someone not used to conveyancing in Blackwell what is the number one tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Blackwell
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Blackwell or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. For instance, the seller, estate agent and even potentially your bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Blackwell is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Blackwell conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. How long does it take for Co-operative to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Co-operative done the valuation? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I'm in the process of looking at flats in Blackwell and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a lawyer in place at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with Yorkshire BS.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Blackwell bank branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Blackwell conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
