Please could you recommend a Nationwide Building Society accepted Alcester conveyancing solicitor who can have us moved in within 10 days? Am I best advised to unstruct a local Alcester practice or an online firm?

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of obstruction in Alcester conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Alcester.
The deeds to our house are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Alcester 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know precisely where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you can buy or sell your house without a hitch. Where copies can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Alcester is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Alcester are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Alcester you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Alcester may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I have recently placed an offer on a leasehold flat in Alcester and the broker that we are using suggested his conveyancer. He quoted £1000 including VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound reasonable?
You should not rely on 1 estimate. You should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Alcester. Then pick one that you trust and crucially, is on the approved list of the lender that you have applied for a mortgage from.
