We're in Oxton, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Kent Reliance , and our lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance 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 happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Oxton. The Oxton property was put into my name in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. Some mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

My offer on a property in Oxton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Oxton. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with TSB started?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Oxton conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the TSB approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their lawyer to proceed with searches.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Oxton
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Oxton conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
