It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Holmes Chapel conveyancing quote. 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.

My wife and I are at the point of viewing apartments in Holmes Chapel and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a home loan with TSB.

It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. As you are taking out a mortgage with TSB, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Holmes Chapel. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A couple of days later, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Santander 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 Santander 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.

Make use of our comparison tool on this page to be sure that the conveyancers are approved by both lenders.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Holmes Chapel. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Holmes Chapel - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
