My husband and I are intent on buying residence in Watlington. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender approved panel. Can I still continue with my Watlington conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel?
You have a number of alternatives available to you here
- Carry on with your preferred Watlington solicitor but your mortgage company will no doubt appoint a solicitor from their approved panel. This will result in additional fees together with potential frustration.
- Get a new lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your solicitor to pull out all the stops to join the bank’s conveyancing panel
I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Watlington. Almost all the properties have already been sold. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Watlington?

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Watlington conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay 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.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Watlington. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Watlington?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Watlington. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Watlington - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
