After shopping around on the internet I have found a Cambridgeshire conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Cambridgeshire surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Cambridgeshire , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Cambridgeshire conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Cambridgeshire registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually top priority yet 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.

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cambridgeshire you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
