There is a good reason why you won’t find people saying “if only I would have chosen a cheap online firm”! Go local - instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Nelson

Reasons to use our Nelson conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 Nelson solicitors are likely to have connections at the local Land Registry Office, Local Authority and estate agents
  • 2 Personal touch and a wealth of local knowledge are key benefits that you should seek when selecting conveyancing solicitors. Nelson conveyancing can be made significantly more stressful because of lack of transparency between all the parties. The lawyers we work with ensure that communication channels are open and act on arising issues and developments expeditiously.
  • 3 Retaining the services of a high street Solicitor generally results in a more personal touch. When using a large conveyancing firm, you tend to be looked after by a team of people who who progress matters by reading from their computer screens.
  • 4 We are the UKs most comprehensive domestic conveyancing directory listing bank approved law firms conducting conveyancing in Nelson regulated and authorised by the SRA or Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
  • 5 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Nelson is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) often falls short of the high standards of professionalism you will expect.

I am assisting my mother sell her property in Nelson. Will the solicitor arrange an energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?

After the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s became a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy assessment must be commissioned before the property is marketed. It is not something that lawyers normally organise. Where you are instructing a Nelson conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established local providers

Can I be sure that the Nelson conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Nelson seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.

I had an offer accepted on a property in Nelson on 25/3/2025, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nationwide and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Are Nationwide entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Is it possible to swap conveyancer as I need to appoint one who is on the Barclays conveyancing list. I instructed a family conveyancing solicitor in Nelson five minutes from me but the firm is not accepted by Barclays

Am I better off to choose a Nelson conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? We have a good friend who can handle the conveyancing however his firm is located 300kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a local Nelson conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that should surpass using an unfamiliar Nelson conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Nelson. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as usual as all rents and maintenance payments will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Nelson - Sample of Queries before buying

    What is the service charge and ground rent on the property? How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? Where a Nelson lease has less than eighty years it will impact the salability of the flat. Check with your bank that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the property for a couple of years before you are legally able to carry out a lease extension.
