I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Do I opt for a national conveyancer rather than a local Cranfield conveyancing solicitor?
Established third party relationships are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing lawyers. Cranfield conveyancers often have long term relationships with mortgage brokers and estate, local authorities, valuers and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Hosting a sound intelligence of the local area is also a plus .
It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Cranfield. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Cranfield involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Cranfield but how do I know who I should use?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Cranfield conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Kent Reliance. Is it usual for Kent Reliance to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Cranfield is approved on their conveyancing panel? Kent Reliance have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
