As someone unfamiliar with the Alfriston conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Alfriston
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Alfriston or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, selling agent and on occasion a bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Alfriston is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a distinct creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your conveyancer above the other players in the home moving process.
Is it correct that all Alfriston CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Coventry BS conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
It is true that some lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their panels.
I have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Alfriston. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform UBS?
Your original mortgage agreement with UBS will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that UBS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Alfriston. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when acquiring a house in Alfriston? or I am told that there is an ancient law that could mean that house owners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Alfriston?
Unless a prior acquisition of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers handling conveyancing in Alfriston to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
My cousin has urged me to appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Alfriston. Do I take his advice?

I purchased a ground floor flat in Alfriston, conveyancing was carried out 5 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Alfriston with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2076
