Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ely

Much to our surprise we have been notified by our estate agent that my Ely lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I check?

You need to contact your Ely conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your bank.

We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Ely who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Co-operative . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Ely.

I have 70 years remaining on my lease and need a lease extension for my flat in Ely. Conveyancing solicitors on the Accord Mortgages panel can deal with such extensions right?

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 20/3/2025 the requirements read as follows :

85 years from the date of completion of the mortgage. Please ensure that you explain the implications of a short term lease to the borrower.

How does conveyancing in Ely differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Ely approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Ely tend to acquire the land, 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 Ely or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Ely ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks may not grant a loan on a flying freehold home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Ely. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Ely especially if they are familiar with such properties in Ely.

My estate agent has suggested using their property lawyer for the conveyancing in Ely - won’t it be better to just instruct them?

It is not always the case and you are free to opt for whichever solicitor you decide for your Ely conveyancing. The conveyancing practitioner put forward by a 3rd party adviser may not necessarily be the right property lawyer, they may recommend their own conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancing practitioner and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
