I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Guisborough to complete within four weeks. What can be done to expedite the buying process?
In the event that you are under a tight deadline to exchange it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will make use of local relationships and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they would have conducted previousproperties in the same street. Therefore consider using a Guisborough conveyancing firm. In addition, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is understood that nearly one in five of Guisborough conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being delayed by an average of three weeks. It is believed that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home moves every year. Almost all Guisborough conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

Can you help - my lawyer says that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Guisborough?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Guisborough. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being problematic. The Guisborough solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.
Am I best advised to go with a Guisborough conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal formalities but her office is approximately 350kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a local Guisborough conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Guisborough know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were impressed that must surpass using an unfamiliar Guisborough conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
