We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we use their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Arnside
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Arnside conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.

The solicitors conducting our conveyancing in Arnside has sent papers to review that show the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not registred at HM Land Regsitry?
Whilst the vast majorities of properties in Arnside are now registered with the Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Arnside that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Arnside property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Arnside conveyancing practitioners will be familiar with such matters but where uncertainty exists the standard guidance nowadays appears to be for the vendor’s solicitor to register it first and then sell - this will predictably result in a significant delay.
