If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Priorslee what would it be?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Priorslee conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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 ahead of the deal.
I am aiming to move property in December. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Priorslee. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only occur after the sellers lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Priorslee or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Priorslee.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Priorslee conveyancing solicitors were appointed. How long does it take for Coventry BS to forward the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS conducted the valuation? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am downsizing from our home in Priorslee and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Priorslee conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Priorslee. Having lived in Priorslee for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 sickness)
I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Priorslee for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property 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 Priorslee conveyancing specialists.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Priorslee. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Priorslee
- 
 Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?   There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?   The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.    Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.  
 
        
	
	
 
How do I use your search tool to locate a conveyancing solicitor in Priorslee on the panel for my mortgage?
1st select a mortgage company such as HSBC Bank, Coventry Building Society or Bank of Ireland then type in your preferred area for example Priorslee. Conveyancing practices in Priorslee and nationally should be identified.
My property lawyer in Priorslee has requested from me proof of ID documents saying that this is part of his requirements as a solicitor on the bank Solicitor panel. Is this right?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the mortgage company. This is not unique to conveyancing in Priorslee
