Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shaw

I have just been advised by my broker that my Shaw property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I be sure whether this is correct?

You need to call your Shaw lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.

It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Shaw. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Shaw relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

I am buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Shaw who is on the Nottingham Building Society conveyancing. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society in certain locations such as Shaw. We dont recommend any particular firm.

How does conveyancing in Shaw differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Shaw come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Shaw usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Shaw or who has acted in the same development.

I was recommended by a number of property agents in Shaw to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over another?

We refuse to offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

Do online conveyancing companies undertake everything a high street Shaw solicitor does or do I still need to use a solicitor for the final stages for my conveyancing in Shaw?

If you choose an online conveyancer they should cover all the tasks your Shaw conveyancer will cover.
