Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Burntwood

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Burntwood is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Burntwood conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Burntwood. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Will this cause complications?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Burntwood involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct their chosen solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Burntwood

It is improbable the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Burntwood conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
