My partner and I are buying residence in Mawsley. My property lawyer has never been on on the lender conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to retain my Mawsley conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel?
One must use a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the formalities if you need a mortgage to purchase your home. The conveyancer will carry out all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You may instruct a Mawsley conveyancer of your choosing. However, where the property lawyer selected is not on the mortgage company conveyancing panel further costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they should do so.

I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Mawsley for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Mawsley conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Mawsley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Mawsley contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Mawsley typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Mawsley or who has acted in the same development.

Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so. They may charge a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees.

The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable.
