I plan on buying a flat in Winnersh. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Winnersh conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?
One will need to use a property lawyer to deal with the formalities if you take out a loan to purchase your home. They will carry out all the relevant investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. One may instruct a Winnersh lawyer of your choice. However, if the conveyancing practitioner selected is not on the mortgage company conveyancing panel further costs will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
Are the Winnersh conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Aldermore?
Winnersh conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.
How does conveyancing in Winnersh differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Winnersh contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Winnersh usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Winnersh or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Winnersh is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Winnersh are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Winnersh you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Winnersh may ascertain 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 property.
Taking into account that I will soon part with £400,000 on a terraced house in Winnersh I would like to talk to a lawyer regarding thehouse move ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

I am 17 days into a leasehold purchase having been recommend to conveyancers by the estate agent to carry out the conveyancing in Winnersh. I am not happy. Can you help me find new solicitors?
They would have to be very bad in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been issued? If so you must advise them of the replacement solicitor and ensure the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your new conveyancer should be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental expenses and frustration. That should be your starting point.
