It is is a decade since I bought my home in Prestbury. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Prestbury involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
What is the optimum way to discover of the solicitor handling my conveyancing in Prestbury is on the lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Chelsea Building Society thus spending £187.00 plus VAT in supplemental conveyancing charges.

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Prestbury
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Prestbury conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying 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. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Prestbury. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Prestbury?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Bank of Ireland have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a house in Prestbury has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Bank of Ireland or your financial adviser and complete any appropriate documentation. Bank of Ireland will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to arrange a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to receive the mortgage offer. Bank of Ireland will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Prestbury.
I have todaybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Prestbury for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make 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 Prestbury conveyancing specialists.
