My Solicitor in Newcastle under Lyme is not listed on the Aldermore Solicitor Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Aldermore list of approved lawyers?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Newcastle under Lyme solicitors but Aldermore will need to instruct a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing fees and cause delays.
- Find an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Aldermore approved.
- Persuade your Aldermore based solicitor to seek to join the Aldermore panel
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Newcastle under Lyme I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Newcastle under Lyme in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Newcastle under Lyme
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Newcastle under Lyme conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
