Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wickersley

My best friend’s brother is a conveyancing practitioner. I expect that I will receive friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Wickersley?

You should compare pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this site. Whilst quotes will contrast greatly but the service one can expect are distinct between property lawyers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.

I am about to put an offer on a leasehold flat in Wickersley. The selling agents say that it is usual for flats in Wickersley to have less than 75 years remaining. I am taking out a loan with Virgin. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 69 years to go.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Virgin have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 8/2/2026 the requirements read as follows :

85 years at the time of completion. If it's less, we require it to be extended on or before completion.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Wickersley conveyancing lawyers have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS done the survey? Have you advised Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Principality are being problematic. The Wickersley solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Wickersley on 29/12/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Are Coventry BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Wickersley benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Wickersley is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Wickersley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wickersley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wickersley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on a terraced house in Wickersley I wish to talk to a solicitor about myhome move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Wickersley.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a file reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Wickersley should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
