As someone unfamiliar with the Kimbolton conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Kimbolton

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Kimbolton and elsewhere in Cambridgeshire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, property agent and sometimes your bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Kimbolton an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

We are witnessing a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process being so protracted. You your first instinct should be to trust your solicitor ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Bank of Ireland, do Kimbolton solicitors incur a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I currently have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Kimbolton. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Aldermore?

You must advise Aldermore in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on an apartment in Kimbolton agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Kimbolton. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Nottingham going?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Kimbolton conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of home buyers will apply for a home loan with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Kimbolton.
