It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Killamarsh. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Killamarsh involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Killamarsh on 28/7/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Are Coventry BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have instructed a Killamarsh conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Killamarsh surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
My sealed bid on a house in Killamarsh has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Killamarsh. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Killamarsh conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Aldermore approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Killamarsh.
