Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Goole. Please spell out why all Goole conveyancers are not on all bank panels?

Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It led to banks and building societies culling a number of firms from their panel of approved lawyers .

I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my let out apartment in Goole by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?

The normal practice is not to serve notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, update to your conveyancer and request that they chase the sellers lawyers, try to a target completion date that all parties will work to achieve

When can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Goole and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?

If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Goole you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Goole)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Goole I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Goole for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
