I have todayfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Heysham for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, 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 Heysham conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a house in Heysham. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
