Is it realistic for conveyancing in Gorton to be finalised in 10 days?
First, If you are under pressure to sign contracts it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will have local relationships and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they may have transacted previoushomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Gorton conveyancing solicitor. In addition, double check that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is estimated that 18% of Gorton conveyancing transactions are frustrated or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the transaction being frustrated by as much as three weeks. It is claimed that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home moves every year. Many Gorton conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.
I am in the process of remortgaging my property in Gorton, does my lawyer have to be on the Leeds Building Society Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, but Leeds Building Society would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

What are the legal fees for lease extension work?
I bought a 2 bed flat in Gorton, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar flats in Gorton with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2100
You have 75 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
Our property lawyer in Gorton is asking me for identification documents asserting that this is part of his retainer as a conveyancer on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. Can you confirm whether this is the case?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not specific to conveyancing in Gorton
