We're in Ripponden, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS 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.
We are aiming to move property in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Ripponden. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent but this can only take place after the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. You can inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Ripponden or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Ripponden.
We had instructed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Ripponden on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional charge for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Ripponden lawyer. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Aldermore as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Ripponden. Do we need to choose a high street Ripponden solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Aldermore would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore list.

I only have 68 years remaining on my flat in Ripponden. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have done all that could be expected to track down the landlord. For most situations a specialist should be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Ripponden.
