Reasons to use our Fishponds conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Fishponds is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) often falls short of the high standards of professionalism you would hope for.
  • 2 Fishponds property lawyers work in partnership with Fishponds estate agents, developers, surveyors, lenders and other professionals to make sure that the highest level of service is offered to clients every step of the way, offering all the legal expertise and help you require
  • 3 Low cost packages from online conveyancers might be tempting. However, these firms are often located hundreds of miles away with limited understanding of the factors that impact property transactions in Fishponds
  • 4 Retaining the services of a local Solicitor usually results in a more bespoke service. Sometimes when dealing with a an online conveyancing factory, your conveyancing is handled by a team of people who check what is happening on the file by determining whether the ‘computers says no’.
  • 5 Fishponds solicitors are likely to have connections at the local Land Registry Office, Local Authority and estate agents

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fishponds

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Fishponds. I would like to know the logic why all Fishponds solicitors aren't included on all bank panels?

Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The elimination of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It led to lenders purging a number of firms off their panel of approved property lawyers .

I am purchasing a new build duplex in Fishponds and my solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound to the bank to reveal incentives from the builder. I am under pressure to exchange and I have no desire to prolong matters. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I need some quick conveyancing in Fishponds as I have pressure to exchange contracts within one month. A home loan is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

If.Given you are not obtaining a mortgage you have the choice not to have searches conducted although no conveyancer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Fishponds the following are examples of issues that can show up and adversely impact the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...

It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Fishponds took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am thinking of appointing a conveyancing lawyer in Fishponds for my purchase. Can I see a solicitor's complaints history with the profession’s regulator?

You can find presented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) determinations resulting from inquisitions from 2008 onwards. Go to Check a solicitor's record. To find information about the period before 1 January 2008, or to check a firm's history, ring 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 any week day save for Tuesday when lines open at 9.30am.
