As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Rocester what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Rocester
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Rocester or throughout Staffordshire is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, estate agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Rocester should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I am considering applying for a UBS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Rocester with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for UBS ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the UBS conveyancing panel, but UBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Rocester what would it be?
Do not opt for the lowest Rocester conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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.
