I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a local conveyancing solicitor in Grasmere?

You should check but the chances are that give you one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" offer. Call the lender to explore if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Grasmere.

I am aiming to move house in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Grasmere. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this site.

On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your selling agent but this can only happen after the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Grasmere or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Grasmere.

It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Grasmere building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Grasmere conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the conveyancer is on the lender panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Intending to buy a flat in Grasmere. 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 take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. 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 Grasmere property lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

I have justbeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Grasmere for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Grasmere conveyancing specialists.
