I am in a contract race with another buyer for a property in Great Missenden. What can be done to speed up the legal process?
First, If the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and intelligence. It is possible that they would have transacted previoushouses in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Great Missenden conveyancing solicitor. Second, make sure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is believed that nearly one in five of Great Missenden conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the transaction being frustrated by almost 21 days. It is said that this issue affects in the region of 100,000 home sales annually. Almost all Great Missenden conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Great Missenden last December but our buyer keeps telephoning every few hours to say his lawyer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Great Missenden?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank and explore if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Great Missenden.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Great Missenden. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the service charge as usual because all rents and service invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
