My wife and I are purchasing a apartment in Pitstone. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we will need to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Pitstone
There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Pitstone and Solicitor partnerships in Pitstone who provide Conveyancing services We would stress that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal aspects of transferring property. Both can conduct associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Pitstone. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS 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 Pitstone conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
I need some expedited conveyancing in Pitstone as I am faced with a deadline to sign on the dotted line within one month. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

With lots of history conveyancing in Pitstone the following are instances of what can appear and therefore impact the marketability of the property: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...
Just bought a terraced house in Pitstone , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Pitstone conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Pitstone registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Pitstone with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Pitstone. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would because all rents and service payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
