Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Telford

One can find a variety of solicitors marketing theoretically looks to be the cheapest conveyancing in Telford.

Many of them accentuate a bargain quote to entice you but hide extra costs in the fine print..

As a novice what is the most important number one tip you can impart about purchase conveyancing in Telford?

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Telford and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, property agent and sometimes the lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Telford is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer ahead of all other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

My apartment in Telford is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my conveyancing practitioner need to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

I have been told that property searches are a common reason for delay in Telford conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Telford.

I decided to have a survey done on a house in Telford before instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a loan on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Telford. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Telford especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Telford.
