Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cranfield

Can you recommend a TSB allowed Cranfield conveyancing conveyancer finish our house move within 28 days? Would it be better to use a high street Cranfield conveyancer or an online firm?

We can recommend some very good Cranfield conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the high street in Cranfield. Go in to two or three law practices and request to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Mention your requirements together with your reasons and ask for an assurance on speed. Select the lawyer that you are most comfortable with.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Co-operative Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Cranfield?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. 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 at a cost.

Can I be sure that the Cranfield conveyancing solicitor on the TSB panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Cranfield seeking recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.

We were going to get a OIP from Nationwide this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Cranfield solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Cranfield solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.

I have finally had an offer on a flat in Cranfield accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Cranfield. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Cranfield conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to move forward with searches.

We are purchasing a house and the solicitor has referenced Chancel Repair to which the house could be obligated to pay given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has suggested insurance. Is this really necessary for conveyancing in Cranfield

I have recentlydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Cranfield for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make 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 Cranfield conveyancing specialists.

I am using a search engine for the phrase cheap conveyancing in Cranfield it reveals numerous solicitorsin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the suitable property lawyer for the sale of my house?
