First, If the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and knowledge.

I am the only recipient of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Shanklin. The Shanklin property was put into my name in July.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months."

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

As with many service providers, often referrals from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may recommend solicitors to choose. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders have an approved list of lawyers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
