As a first time buyer what is the most important advice you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Chiseldon?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Chiseldon or throughout Wiltshire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, estate agent and sometimes the mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Chiseldon should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose interest is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
There is a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer ahead of all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I am selling my apartment in Chiseldon. Will my lawyer need to be required to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Chiseldon
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Chiseldon conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
