I chose a Congleton based solicitor for our conveyancing in Congleton recently. Reviewing the Terms I notewe are liable for charges even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or instruct an internet conveyancing brokerage who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Congleton?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover the conveyances that abort. Also remember that these schemes rarely cover outlay e.g. Congleton conveyancing search charges.
Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Congleton. My lender is Accord Mortgages
Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 11/6/2026, the requirements read as follows :
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Congleton. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Congleton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Congleton conveyancer on the Nationwide panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Nationwide mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so
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 telephoned my Congleton bank branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Congleton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the lender panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am purchasing my first flat in Congleton benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it would affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
