My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Wilford. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the The Mortgage Works approved list of lawyers. Can you help?
The first thing you should do is contact your solicitor and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise please get in touch with The Mortgage Works who may be able to help.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Wilford. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Wilford?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Wilford. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
Can I be sure that the Wilford conveyancing solicitor on the Barclays panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Wilford getting recommendations is a sensible 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 advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Wilford. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £200. Shortly after, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Bank of Ireland panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Will our solicitor be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Wilford.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Wilford. There are those who purchase a house in Wilford, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their lawyers which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Wilford. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the vendor to find out if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim resulting from an misleading reply. The buyer’s conveyancers may also commission an environmental search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Wilford?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Wilford. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I have been looking for Wilford online conveyancing estimates. Can I be sure that all the Wilford practices that are identified on your website are on the lender conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have assured us via an online form that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Wilford firm being on the bank conveyancing panel is not accurate.
