I was recommended to a lawyer who has given a fee estimate £1200 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Croston. I’m hoping to downsize from a newly refurbished detached home for £150,000. This appears over the top. Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Croston?
The charges are a bit high. If you are willing to spend time comparing charges you could trim some of the cost by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, you couldcome to rue choosing an a cheaper conveyancer. Remember to be sure the conveyancer can represent your mortgage company.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Croston. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Croston?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We are due to move home in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Croston. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the selling agent however this should only happen when the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Croston or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Croston.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, HSBC are being pedantic. The Croston solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but HSBC are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Croston for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Croston conveyancing specialists.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Croston is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Croston are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Croston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Croston may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

We have today had a bid accepted on our 1st house in Croston, and are about to get solicitors lined up. I have utilised the various rating based websites and the quotes are from all over the the UK. Is it advisable to have a Croston property lawyer local to the potential property? We are fine to do all the communicating over email, but I am thinking at some point we will need to physically go into the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign contracts?
Usually there is no need to attend the office of your property lawyer, they can send any relevant contracts to you, which you can sign and return. Many home movers nevertheless opt to use a locally based solicitor, but it is not a prerequisite for conveyancing in Croston.
