If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Broadway what would it be?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Broadway conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We are aiming to move property in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Broadway. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent but this can only occur when the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Broadway or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Broadway.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Broadway is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Broadway are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Broadway you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Broadway may determine 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 property.
I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Broadway. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as usual given that all rents and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Me and my husband are selling a Broadway ground floor flat left to us six years ago in 2012. I have over twenty years conveyancing know-how and, now retired, wish to carry out the conveyancing. The buyer's solicitor has informed me that their mortgage company will not allow you to do your own conveyancing as they require the funds to be transferred to a solicitor's bank account.
Lending instructions to lawyers from all CML members specify that If the seller does not have legal representation the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be informed so that a decision can be reached as to whether they are willing to move forward.
