Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Coniston conveyancing lawyers are instructed. How long does it take for Santander to send the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Santander done the valuation? Have you informed Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Coniston bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Coniston conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook provisions 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may impact a commercial site in Coniston?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Coniston will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Coniston.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Coniston it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

I got the keys to my house on 16 February and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Coniston expressed confidence that it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Coniston uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Coniston registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Coniston differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Coniston contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Coniston typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Coniston or who has acted in the same development.
Developers have suggested I use a lawyer and I've obtained a quote from them. It's almost £250 cheaper than my family Coniston conveyancer. Should I use them?
Developers often have panels of lawyers who are quick and who know the builder's documentation and property lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to use a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they demand an exchange inside a month. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended lawyer is that they may prove reluctant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should remain with your high street Coniston lawyer.
