Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wokingham

I am about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Wokingham but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors of three thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Principality are not allowing this. Why were they notified?

Any solicitor that is on the Principality approved list is duty bound to advise Principality of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Wokingham.

I have been recommended by a number of property agents in Wokingham to find a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over and above another?

We refuse to make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

So that should be your first question of the new lawyers. The find a solicitor tool will assist you in finding a lender approved solicitor for your home move in Wokingham

Me and my partner have recently had an offer accepted on a flat and had meeting on Monday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to choosing a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancers then we will be subject to an an extra fee of £250+. This is because they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their costs. I have requested the Post Office to furnish me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?

You can enquire of the Post Office what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for the Post Office historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with the Post Office. Alternatively please make use of our search tool and we should be able to find you a property lawyer in Wokingham on the approved list for the Post Office.
