We expect to receive a AIP from Coventry BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Keyworth solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Keyworth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Keyworth building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Keyworth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Keyworth. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the Barclays 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 Barclays 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.
Just bought a terraced house in Keyworth , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Keyworth conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Keyworth registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we use their preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Keyworth
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Keyworth conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
Back In 2009, I bought a leasehold house in Keyworth. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Keyworth who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Keyworth conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
