It may have been a long time coming a loan offer from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 2 bedroom apartment is to be issued imminently. Are you able to put forward a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Claverley?
You have come to the wrong place to search for the cheapest conveyancing in Claverley. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest.

When can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Claverley and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Claverley you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Claverley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Claverley. Conveyancing is necessary. What happens now?
Now that you are exchanged you should retain a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you are facing a pending deadline in which to complete the purchase. An auction property should have an associated legal set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the conveyancing papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to the solicitor instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Is it the case that all Claverley solicitor practices on the Principality conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Claverley conveyancer on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your TSB mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are a common cause of obstruction in Claverley conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Claverley.
New build sellers have suggested I use a conveyancing practitioner and I've sought an estimate from them. They are nearly £250 cheaper than my preferred Claverley lawyer. What's the catch?
Builders frequently have lists of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s documentation and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange inside a month. The argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancer is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should keep with your local Claverley conveyancing practitioner.
