AssumingI were to buy a simple residential propertyin Greenfield mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Greenfield?
Any savings you would make will be isolated to the disbursement for searches. The property lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers lawyer, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.
We are planning to move house in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Greenfield. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the selling agent but this can only happen after the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Greenfield or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Greenfield.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Greenfield conveyancing solicitors are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Leeds Building Society?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society done the valuation? Have you advised Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Greenfield. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
The deeds to our property are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Greenfield 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to find all the appropriate paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch. If duplicates can’t be located, your solicitor may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your premises.
I am purchasing a new build house in Greenfield benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

My wife and I have appointed a Greenfield conveyancing solicitor for our home move (novice purchasers) and have picked up in the Ts and Cs that they are not governed by the FCA. Need I be concerned or is that standard with property lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most property lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who have specific conditions covering funds sitting on client account.
