My husband and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Rocester with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Rocester lawyer, but the mortgage company says he's not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to use one of the mortgage company panel firms or keep our Rocester property lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Rocester conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Rocester. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Given that you have now legally bound yourself to purchase you should find a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you now have a tight deadline in which to complete the property. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing pack should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation pertinent to a leasehold property. You must pass this on to the conveyancer instructed by you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Rocester. I have a mortgage agreed with Principality. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Rocester. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide 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 Rocester solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
A colleague advised me that if I am buying in Rocester I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Rocester Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Rocester Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data regarding Rocester.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Rocester , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Rocester conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration is concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Rocester registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property so registration formalities is not typically an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
