It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Lamorbey. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they may still be with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Lamorbey involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Lamorbey. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Lamorbey solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
Aldermore have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Lamorbey has been accepted, what happens next?
Your estate agent will need to be informed of your solicitor's details (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Aldermore or the financial adviser and complete any relevant documentation. Aldermore will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to get a mortgage offer. Aldermore will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Lamorbey.
Our sealed bid on a semi in Lamorbey has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Lamorbey. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Lamorbey conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Skipton approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Lamorbey.
I have recentlybecome aware that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Lamorbey for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Lamorbey conveyancing specialists.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Lamorbey with a mortgage from Virgin Money. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
