We are buying a property in Bishopsworth. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings available on the web. If you are seeking to appoint a Bishopsworth solicitor on the Co-operative please use our facility.
I am expecting a AIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Bishopsworth solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Bishopsworth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.
I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Bishopsworth for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, 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 Bishopsworth conveyancing specialists.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Bishopsworth. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bishopsworth
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I was recommended by a few property agents in Bishopsworth to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

My husband and I intend to acquire our first property in Bishopsworth. Conveyancing solicitor has been instructed. The mortgage adviser suggested that a survey is not needed as the house was only built in 2001.
You would be best advised to have a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises is more than ten years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. They will highlight any obvious issues and suggest further investigation where relevant. Where there are any signs of problems obtain a full Building Survey from the beginning.
