Is it possible for conveyancing in Cheshire to be done within a month?
First, If the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local contacts and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they would have handled previousproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Cheshire conveyancing lawyer. In addition, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is claimed that 18% of Cheshire conveyancing transactions are delayed or derailed after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the buying process being held up by an average of three weeks. It is believed that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home moves annually. Almost all Cheshire conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check at the outset.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Cheshire what would it be?
Do not opt for the cheapest Cheshire conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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.

We are downsizing from our house in Cheshire and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cheshire. We have lived in Cheshire for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Cheshire for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out 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 Cheshire conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Cheshire differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Cheshire contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Cheshire typically purchase the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cheshire or who has acted in the same development.
