Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bedford

I am in the market for a low cost property lawyer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer as opposed to a high street Bedford conveyancing lawyer?

Bedford is a special area, where regional experience helps. The relaxed pace of life has it’s attractions – just not for your conveyancing.

My wife and I have lately bought a property in Bedford. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out for conveyancing in Bedford?

The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Bedford. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a document called a SPIF. If the information provided is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Bedford.

I have todayfound out that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Bedford for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to check 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 Bedford conveyancing specialists.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we use their chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Bedford

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Bedford conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
