Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Mountsorrel or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, selling agent and on occasion the bank.

On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Mountsorrel conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Mountsorrel surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
