Are the Linslade conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Coventry BS?
Linslade conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.
I am the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Linslade. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this clause chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Clydesdale as we wish to conduct renovations to our home in Linslade. Are we obliged to choose a high street Linslade solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Clydesdale don't usually instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale list.
I currently have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Linslade. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Nationwide?
Nationwide must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nationwide 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 Nationwide directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel lawyer.
I require expedited conveyancing in Linslade as I am under pressure to exchange contracts in less than 3 weeks. A home loan is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

With lots of history conveyancing in Linslade the following are instances of what can arise and therefore affect the marketability of the property: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...
How does conveyancing in Linslade differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Linslade come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Linslade usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Linslade or who has acted in the same development.
