Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Mortimer?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Mortimer your solicitor will ask you put them with monies to cover the search fees.

When the down payment is payable against the purchase price then this will be needed immediately ahead of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is due should be transferred a few days prior to the completion date.
We're in Mortimer, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Clydesdale , and our solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am helping my aunt sell her house in Mortimer. Will the conveyancer commission an EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the abolition of HIPs, EPC’s was left as a required element of selling a property. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers normally organise. If you are instructing a Mortimer conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local assessors

I am the sole recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Mortimer. The Mortimer property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Mortimer
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Mortimer conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
