Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Theale

Is there a reason to instruct a Theale conveyancing firm given that internet based conveyancers are less overpriced?

By all means make sure that you compare conveyancing costs in Theale and you should seek a reasonable fee calculation but don’t become consumed with looking for the lowest priced Theale conveyancer. Locating the right conveyancer can mark the difference between a smooth and a stressful move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert guidance from a trusted conveyancer. Emails can't take the place of a telephone conversation and are no substitute for a one to one consultation. The firms that we work with will allocate you a qualified and trusted conveyancing solicitor that will handle your conveyancing from from the outset to completion, providing a level of personalised service that you will never get with an online conveyancer. Our lawyers will inform you on headway making sure that you are never in the dark. Should it ever be necessary to phone the office you will know who to ask for and they will endeavour to make sure that you are kept fully informed.

Can I be sure that the Theale conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Theale obtaining recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Skipton as we want to carry out renovations to our house in Theale. Do we need to select a high street Theale solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Skipton would not normally require firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton panel.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Theale on 21/1/2026, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Are Bank of Ireland entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Theale and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Theale. Having lived in Theale for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)

five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Theale completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I have been sourcing a conveyancing lawyer in Theale for my home move. Is there any facility to check a solicitor's complaints history with the profession’s regulator?

Anyone can find presented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) determinations arising from investigations from 2008 onwards. Go to Check a solicitor's record. To find information Pre 2008, or to check a firm's history, telephone 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and 09.30 - 18.00 Tuesday. For non-uk callers, use +44 (0)121 329 6800. The SRA sometimes recorded telephone calls for training purposes.

I'm selling a bungalow in Theale. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't see my lawyer's name on the list. Is this a big problem?

Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
