Are the Calne conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Aldermore?

Calne conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.

My colleague suggested that if I am purchasing in Calne I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

This is a search is usually included in the estimate for your Calne conveyancing searches. It is a large report of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Calne around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Calne Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Calne.

I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Calne. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Yorkshire Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Calne and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

Is it possible to change solicitor as I need to select a firm on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing list. I hired a local conveyancing solicitor in Calne five minutes from me but she is not accepted by Yorkshire Building Society

I have been informed by various estate agents that it can take 6-8 weeks for Calne conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The property information was only received from the vendors property lawyer a few days ago so does the clock start running now?

There is no definitive time frame for conveyancing in Calne. Conveyancing is subject to many variable. Calne conveyancing searches in and of themselves could take up to month to arrive.
