If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Brownhills what would it be?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Brownhills conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Is it the case that all Brownhills conveyancing solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

How does conveyancing in Brownhills differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Brownhills approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Brownhills tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Brownhills or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Brownhills is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Brownhills are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brownhills you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brownhills may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
