At long last a loan agreement from Santander for the remortgage of my single bedroom apartment is due any day now. Can you put forward a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Ferryside?
You have arrived at the wrong place to search for cut-price fees for conveyancing in Ferryside. We can offer you cost effective conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing companies enticing you with £99 conveyancing in Ferryside. At best, in choosing a lawyer for low cost conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst you will end up being stung for additional fees and still not end up with the service you were hoping for.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Nationwide Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Ferryside?
First, 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 for a fee.
I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Ferryside for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property 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 Ferryside conveyancing specialists.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Ferryside is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Ferryside are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ferryside you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ferryside may decide 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 residence.
What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Ferryside conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Ferryside conveyancing firm) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you speak with two or three firms including non Ferryside conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be of use:

How much is the ground rent and service charge? The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the leaseholders have being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is usually retained where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. On the whole the cost for major works tend not to be included within service charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Ferryside ask tenants to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger works.
