What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Trentham?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Trentham and elsewhere in Staffordshire is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Trentham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
There is a worrying creep of a "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. You should always trust your lawyer ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Trentham building society branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Trentham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the property lawyer is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
