Can conveyancing in Castle Vale to be concluded in under 10 days?

It is possible that they could have handled otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Castle Vale conveyancing solicitor.

I am considering applying for a Nottingham mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Castle Vale with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, but Nottingham would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Castle Vale. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Castle Vale?

Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Castle Vale conveyancing solicitors were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Bank of Ireland?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland done the valuation? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Castle Vale. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Castle Vale conveyancer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Castle Vale agreed to, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have submitted an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Castle Vale. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Castle Vale conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your solicitor is on the Principality approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Castle Vale.
