Can the conveyancing practitioners listed on your site carry out auction conveyancing in Haddenham?
We know of a few niche practitioners we can put you in touch with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Haddenham is one of our locations in which our lawyers have a presence.
I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Haddenham. My lender is Accord Mortgages
Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 12/6/2025, the requirements read as follows :
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Haddenham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Haddenham conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Haddenham. Having lived in Haddenham for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Haddenham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Haddenham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Haddenham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises thus registration formalities is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Haddenham in advance of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks tend not give a mortgage on this type of house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can investigate further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Haddenham. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Haddenham especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Haddenham.
My solicitors in Haddenham have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
