Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a searchable register to list solicitors on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Killamarsh?

We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Killamarsh. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Killamarsh?

On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Killamarsh. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Killamarsh conveyancing lawyers were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Aldermore?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Aldermore done the valuation? Have you informed Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Killamarsh. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £175. Shortly after, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am buying a new build flat in Killamarsh. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

I'm converting the mortgage on my current home to a BTL mortgage with HSBC Bank and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a deposit on a second property. The location we are interested in is Killamarsh. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of lenders and link together the conveyances?

Do use our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels. On the basis that they are your solicitor should be able to connect the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you solicitor and make clear your desired outcome and requirements.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to let out our Killamarsh 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Killamarsh conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your last Killamarsh conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain permission via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
