What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in West Green?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in West Green and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially a bank. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in West Green should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
We are witnessing a definite increase in the "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you must always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in West Green. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?

We are selling our house in West Green and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in West Green. We have lived in West Green for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 ailment)
I have justfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in West Green for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of West Green conveyancing specialists.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in West Green. I have chance upon a site which seems to have the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all formalities done via web that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mum’s Will, with a house in West Green which is to be marketed. The property is unregistered at HMLR and I'm advised that some purchasers will insist that it is completed before they'll proceed. What's the mechanism for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
