What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Enderby
It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Enderby conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay 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 time.
I am helping my aunt sell her house in Enderby. Does the conveyancer commission an EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was retained a mandatory part of selling a house. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. This is not something that solicitors normally arrange. Where you are instructing a Enderby conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable Enderby assessors
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Enderby. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A couple of days later, the solicitor contacted me to say that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Enderby 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Enderby is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Enderby are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Enderby you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Enderby 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.
