We are purchasing our first home. The solicitor has calledto enquire if we would like to order additional conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's recommended for conveyancing in Bedmond
The number and type of Bedmond conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the premises, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your general appetite to risk. What is important is that you properly comprehend what information the searches could provide. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that information. If unclear, ask the conveyancer to explain.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the HSBC Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Bedmond?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
I used Stirling Law a few years past for my conveyancing in Bedmond. I now require my file but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Bedmond. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bedmond
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Bedmond
It is improbable the owners are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Bedmond conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
