We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Navenby listed on your site but stumbled across some other estimates on the internet appear cheaper – why is this?
One can find plenty of solicitors marketing at first sight what seems to be very low prices.

My wife and I are acquiring a brand new duplex in Navenby and my conveyancer is telling me that she has to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange and I have no desire to delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your lawyer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
What can a local search inform me about the property we're buying in Navenby?
Navenby conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance PSG The local search plays an important role in many a Navenby conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic sections.
I have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Navenby for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the property is in your name, 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 Navenby conveyancing specialists.
I have recently realised that I have 72 years remaining on my flat in Navenby. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the lessor. On the whole a specialist would be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare a report to be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Navenby.

The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold.
