Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Laceby and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process.

For example, the vendor, property agent and even potentially a bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Laceby is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a distinct ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Laceby conveyancing lawyers were instructed. How long does it take for TSB to send the offer to the property lawyer?

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Laceby bank branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Laceby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancing practitioner has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Laceby I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Laceby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I have read on various consumer advice websites that before selecting a conveyancing firm they must be approved by your bank. This is my first house move but I have an AIP via Birmingham Midhshires and I already have a family conveyancing solicitor in Laceby on standby. Does Halifax need an approved conveyancer to be selected? Does a list of panel solicitors even exist so I can appoint a conveyancing lawyer in Laceby?
You should instruct a solicitor that is on the Halifax panel. Simply telephone your chosen Laceby conveyancing solicitor and ask if they are on the Halifax panel. If they are not on the panel you have numerous options available to you here:
- Complete the deal with your chosen Laceby solicitor but Halifax will no doubt use a solicitor on their approved list. The net impact is additional fees and probable interruption.
- Appoint a new lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancing practitioner to attempt to join the lender panel.
