Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lichfield

Much to our surprise we have been notified by our financial adviser that my Lichfield property lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I check?

The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Lichfield lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your lender.

We are looking to buy a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Lichfield who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Co-operative . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Lichfield.

I am downsizing from our house in Lichfield and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Lichfield. Having lived in Lichfield for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. 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 illness)

I have a renovated Georgian house in Lichfield. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lichfield and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Lichfield and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Lichfield. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Lichfield area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Lichfield. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Lichfield

It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Lichfield conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
