Much to our surprise we have been informed by our broker that my Dunmow the law firm I have appointed is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I be certain whether this is indeed the case?

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for obstruction in Dunmow house deals. Is that correct?

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Dunmow.
three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Dunmow concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Make use of our search tool on this site to be sure that the lawyers are approved by both banks. On the basis that they are the conveyancer will be able to tie up the two deals but you should talk with you solicitor and communicate your expectations and needs.
We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Dunmow
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Dunmow conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
My wife and I may need to rent out our Dunmow garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Dunmow conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
The lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; specifically, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Dunmow do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
