Aston conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.
Is it the case that all Aston CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Aston conveyancing solicitors are appointed. How long does it take for Skipton to send the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Skipton done the survey? Have you informed Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Co-operative have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Aston has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The estate agent will need to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Co-operative or the broker and complete any relevant paperwork. Co-operative will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. Co-operative will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Aston.
I got the keys to my home on 12 June and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Aston expressed confidence that it should be dealt with in less than a month. Are properties in Aston particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Aston registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Aston ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend refuse to issue a loan on this type of premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Aston. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Aston to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

Should one as executor remove a deceased person's name from the title deeds for a property in Aston?
If a Aston property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal you would just be required to supply proof why the co owner is missing from the transfer, ordinarily this takes the form of the probate documents.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing smoother for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased name erased from the title register by submitting an application to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
