We selected a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Upton recently. Upon checking the terms of engagement I noteI am liable for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I ditch them and select a web based solicitor practice who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Upton?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset the conveyances that do not go ahead. Also remember that these deals tend not to cover outlay e.g. Upton conveyancing search fees.

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Upton. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Given that you are now exchanged you must retain a conveyancing solicitor soon as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property should have an associated auction pack. This will include most,if not all of the paperwork that your lawyer requires. If you have purchased leasehold property the conveyancing pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Is it the case that all Upton conveyancing solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Bank of Ireland. Is it usual for Bank of Ireland to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Upton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Bank of Ireland have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am looking at a two apartments in Upton which have in the region of fifty years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Upton. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Upton to find Conveyancing in Upton in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the entire property - which is clearly preferable. Do clarify with your solicitor but it would appear that your lawyer is looking to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring your flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated as a result of lack of insurance.
