Can you vouch for a Yorkshire Building Society accepted Silverton conveyancing firm that can complete within 28 days? Would it be better to use a high street Silverton firm or an online firm?

After researching online forums for a high-quality solicitor in Silverton, most say that I must look for a CQS assured solicitor. What is CQS?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in the legal transfer of properties, trusted by some of the UK's biggest mortgage companies. In 2011-12 the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Legal Ombudsman. CQS is not a scheme offered by the Council of Licensed Conveyancing. Silverton is one of the numerous areas in England and Wales where there are CQS lawyers.
We are aiming to move property in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Silverton. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent however this should only take place after the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Silverton or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Silverton.
Can you point me to a directory of Leeds Building Society panel conveyancers in Silverton on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings open the public over the internet. Where you are seeking to appoint a Silverton solicitor on the Leeds Building Society please make the most of our facility.
We were going to get a DIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Silverton solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Silverton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Silverton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Silverton
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Silverton where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Silverton conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner 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. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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.

The majority of lawyers tend to complete a Land Transaction Return Form on your behalf during your Silverton conveyancing transaction for signature. After completion your conveyancer will submit your STL application to the Tax Authorities and - as long as they have the funds - pay any land tax liability on your behalf.
