We chose a Garforth based solicitor for my conveyancing in Garforth last week. Going through the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even if the movefalls through. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based solicitor practice promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Garforth?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise the conveyances that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these promotions rarely cover outlay such your Garforth conveyancing search fees.
We are aiming to move house in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Garforth. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent however this can only happen after the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. You can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Garforth or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Garforth.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Garforth conveyancing solicitors are selected. How long does it take for Principality to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality conducted the valuation? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Garforth solicitor on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore 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 Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, 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 Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Myself and my partner have just had an offer accepted on a apartment and had meeting on Monday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to choosing a lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of lawyers then we will have to pay out an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to instruct a property lawyer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their costs. I have asked Nationwide to send me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You should ask Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Alternatively please make use of our search tool and we should be able to identify a lawyer in Garforth on the panel for Nationwide.
