It has come to my attention via my IFA that my Exton lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?
Your first step should be to contact your Exton conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Exton conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
Me and my wife are buying our first house. Our lawyer has messagedto check if we would like to order supplemental conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we in the dark as to what's relevant for conveyancing in Exton
The extent of Exton conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the area and risks, your general appetite to risk. What is important is that you properly appreciate what information each search could provide. You may then decide if you consider that you need that information. Where you are unsure, ask your solicitor to advise.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Exton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership will be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this clause is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
Can you point me to a directory of Yorkshire BS panel conveyancers in Exton on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings open the public online. Where you are in need of a Exton lawyer on the Yorkshire BS please use our tool.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Exton conveyancing solicitors were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS conducted the survey? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

These searches are not ordered for residential conveyancing in Exton.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Exton. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
