I plan on purchasing a maisonette in Pyle. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Pyle conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel?
You have numerous options open to you here
- Carry on with your chosen Pyle conveyancing practitioner but your mortgage company will undoubtedly use a conveyancing practitioner on their approved list. This will result in additional fees together with likely interruption.
- Choose a fresh conveyancing practitioner to conduct the conveyancing, making sure they are on the bank conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancing practitioner to apply to join the mortgage company panel
We're in Pyle, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Lloyds , and our solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer 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 selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being pedantic. The Pyle solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
How does conveyancing in Pyle differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Pyle contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Pyle usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Pyle or who has acted in the same development.

I have miscalculated my finances and am a few grand short a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in Pyle , but I still want to proceed. Do I have options?
You can agree a lower deposit. Most property owners will accept a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
