What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Shirebrook?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Shirebrook and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, property agent and sometimes your lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Shirebrook should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Shirebrook

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Shirebrook where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Shirebrook conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

My nephew is about to join the property ladder, he had his mortgage in principle. When the offer was accepted on apartment we contacted the building society to issue the formal offer. We were very surprised to learn that mortgage companies do not accept all conveyancer, they must be on their panel, is this legal?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Shirebrook property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
