I am expecting a mortgage offer from Santander. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Highbridge. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am buying a property for cash in Highbridge. I have lived for the previous Seventeen years in Highbridge. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Highbridge conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of guidance. Do bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it could be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Highbridge will be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.

There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Highbridge but how do I know who I should use?
Do not opt for the cheapest Highbridge conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying 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 advance.
My uncle informed me that in buying a property in Highbridge there could be various restrictions prohibiting external changes to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Highbridge which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Highbridge should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
About to purchase apartment in Highbridge. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Highbridge lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
My wife and I are selling our house in Highbridge and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Highbridge conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Highbridge. We have lived in Highbridge for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
