I am planning to move home in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Writtle. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.

Can you point me to a directory of Lloyds panel solicitors in Writtle on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings visible over the internet. Where you are seeking to appoint a Writtle conveyancer on the Lloyds please make the most of our tool.

After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Writtle agreed to, the vendors do however have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Writtle. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Writtle conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Coventry BS approved list. As to the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Writtle I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Writtle in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I am using a search engine for the term cheap conveyancing in Writtle it shows results of many property lawyersin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable conveyancing solicitor for purchase transaction?

The preferential way of finding the right conveyancer is through a trusted referral, so ask friends and those you trust who have bought a property in Writtle or the local estate agent or financial adviser. Costs for conveyancing in Writtle vary, so it's sensible to request a minimum of three costs illustrations from varying types of companies. Be sure to secure confirmation that the fees are fixed.

My partner and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Writtle. When we first instructed conveyancer, we were told they were on all mainstream bank panels. Our mortgage broker emailed yesterday to advise that they don't appear to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Do we simply find a different conveyancer that is on their approved list or do we pay for separate representation, with Yorkshire BS selecting their own approved conveyancing practitioner.

Where you are purchasing a property requiring a mortgage it is conventional for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the property lawyer has to meet. Some mortgage companies now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Yorkshire BS to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Yorkshire BS's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Writtle solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another solicitor into the mix.
