We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Cinderford found by you but have come across alternative fee calculations on the internet look less expensive – why is this?
There are lots of solicitors offering at first sight what seems to be cut price. Our advice is to think twice about how important this transaction is to you that you are willing to take 'cheap' risks over the standard of the conveyancing. Many of them list a cheap quote to grab your attention but hide supplemental charges in the small print..
Do lawyers request money up-front when it comes to conveyancing in Cinderford?
If you are buying a property in Cinderford your lawyer will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is called for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is as part of the total price then this should be asked for immediately before exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer a couple of days prior to the day of completion.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Virgin Money, do Cinderford conveyancing practitioners incur a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
Can I be sure that the Cinderford conveyancing solicitor on the Clydesdale panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Cinderford getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Cinderford on 3/12/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Co-operative and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Are Co-operative entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Co-operative to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
We are planning on selling our house in Cinderford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cinderford. We have lived in Cinderford for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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)
