We're in Surrey Quays, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Santander , and our lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Santander are being problematic. The Surrey Quays solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Santander are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Surrey Quays accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Surrey Quays. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Surrey Quays conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market.

My wife and I are selling our property in Surrey Quays and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Surrey Quays conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Surrey Quays. Having lived in Surrey Quays for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I'm purchasing a new build house in Surrey Quays with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. 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.
