There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Maulden but how do I know who I should use?
Do not opt for the lowest Maulden conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers based in Maulden on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional sum for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by UBS but by your Maulden solicitor. Plenty of firms on the UBS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Maulden. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £175. A couple of days later, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Aldermore 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 Aldermore 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.

Have completed on a a terraced house in Maulden , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Maulden conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Maulden is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Maulden differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Maulden contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Maulden usually acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Maulden or who has acted in the same development.
We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the property agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Maulden
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Maulden conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
