I am purchasing an apartment in Coniston. My lawyer has never been on on the bank approved panel. Can I still continue with my Coniston conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender approved list?

Can you help - my lawyer advises that flying freehold insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Coniston conveyancing?

How can we tell if a Coniston conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Coniston seeking recommendations is a good 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 suggest that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.

I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Coniston solicitor - who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Coniston surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

My company is looking to take over a lease of an office on a shopping parade. Can you recommend solicitors offering no-sale-no charges for non-domestic conveyancing in Coniston for below 1500k?

If you are looking to acquire or dispose of a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail premises or a whole business we will find you the right solicitor. As for the charges these will vary based on the structure and heads of terms of the deal. Please provide us with your details or email us so that we may provide you with comprehensive commercial conveyancing quote.

Is it best to choose a Coniston conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am purchasing? An old friend can handle the legal work but they are based over three hundred miles drive away.

The benefit of a local Coniston conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Coniston know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were happy that must trump using an unknown Coniston conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.

Our conveyancing in Coniston is set to complete this Friday, yet the couple I am purchasing from wishes to vacate the next day at afternoon. Can I agree to such a plan?

If you need a bank loan then your property lawyer will insist that the premises arevacant on Friday - the mortgage company will insist on it.
