Is there a reason to instruct a Chorleywood conveyancing solicitors firm given that national alternatives are less overpriced?
Its a good idea to get 2 or 3 like-for-like quotes for conveyancing costs in Chorleywood and you should seek a competitive quote but don’t be focused with sourcing the cheapest Chorleywood conveyancer. Appointing the right conveyancer can be the distinction between a smooth and a frustrating move. You need to ensure that you have expert guidance from a specialist conveyancer. Emails can't replace a phone discussion and are no substitute for a one to one meeting. The firms that we work with will appoint you a qualified and experienced conveyancing solicitor who can tackle your conveyancing from beginning to end, providing a level of personalised service that you rarely receive from an web based conveyancer. He or She will inform you on any developments and keep you informed. If you ever need to contact the firm you will be sure who you need to speak to and we'll ensure you are in the know.
We are downsizing from our house in Chorleywood and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Chorleywood. We have lived in Chorleywood for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Chorleywood for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Chorleywood conveyancing specialists.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Chorleywood is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Chorleywood are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chorleywood you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Chorleywood may ascertain 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.
