The loan agreement from HSBC for the remortgage of my 2 room maisonette is expected within the next few days. Could you put forward a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Ladywood?

You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the cheapest conveyancing in Ladywood. Our goal is to offer excellent value conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint organisations teasing you with £99 conveyancing in Ladywood. At best, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up being stung for additional fees and still not end up with the service you were hoping for.

We are selling our home in Ladywood. Will the property lawyer need to be required to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.

A colleague informed me that in buying a property in Ladywood there may be a number of restrictions preventing external alterations to the property. Is this right?

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Ladywood. The Ladywood property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation primarily exists to capture subsales or the flipping of property.

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
