Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Green Street Green?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
Me and my partner are purchasing a flat in Green Street Green. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we have to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am being told by my conveyancer that flying freehold insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Green Street Green?
The appropriate level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Green Street Green 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and get up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
I'm buying my first flat in Green Street Green benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Nottingham Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Green Street Green. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the invoice as usual as all rents and service payments will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Green Street Green conveyancing firm to assist?
