I have justbecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Crediton for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, 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 Crediton conveyancing specialists.

If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Crediton conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you talk with two or three firms including non Crediton conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be helpful:
-

My partner and I have AIP from Aldermore who suggested we could borrow up to £400k. At what point do we need to appoint a solicitor for conveyancing? Crediton is where we are buying.
You can instruct a solicitor now and ask them to create a file for you. This will facilitate: 1) the estate agent to send out the Sales Memorandum to all parties 2) the seller’s property lawyer to submit the draft agreement. However, do not ask your solicitor to start searches until you have your valuation report via Aldermore and you are happy to move forward.
