My Solicitor in Golders Green has never been on on the Aldermore Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the Aldermore panel?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Golders Green solicitors but Aldermore will need to retain a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees as well as cause delays.
- Get a new solicitor to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Aldermore approved.
- Try to convince your Aldermore solicitor to seek to join the Aldermore panel
I just bought a property at auction in Golders Green. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Given that you have now legally bound yourself to purchase you will need to choose a conveyancing lawyer soon as you now have a tight deadline in which to complete the deal. Every auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction pack. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold premises the conveyancing papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Golders Green. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Golders Green lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

We have been advised by various estate agents that it can take up to two months for Golders Green conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The paperwork was only sent to my conveyancing practitioner last week so now does it countdown?
Do not rely on completing on a set date until contracts are exchanged. Regardless of the promises the people you are purchasing from or selling to make, or your solicitor gives don't bank on them. More frustration is caused to buyers and sellers by unfulfilled promises than any other factor when it comes to conveyancing in Golders Green.
