What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Helsby?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Helsby and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion your bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Helsby an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will try and convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I just acquired a property at auction in Helsby. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Now that you are exchanged you will need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you now have a tight a drop dead date to complete the property. An auction property will have a corresponding legal set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You need to pass this on to the solicitor working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Helsby on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Helsby conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I am expecting a AIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Helsby solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Helsby solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
I'm buying my first flat in Helsby with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
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 husband and I are 18 days into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Helsby. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Could you help me find new solicitors?
They would have to be very bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been generated? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the replacement solicitor and ensure the offer are re-sent. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental expenses and delays. That should be your first question of the new solicitors.
