The loan offer from Santander for the refinancing of my 3 room apartment is due any day now. Can you put forward a low cost conveyancing lawyer in Earlswood?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in Earlswood. Our aim is to provide excellent value conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing brokers offering low cost conveyancing in Earlswood. At best, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up invoiced for additional fees and still not receive the service you were hoping for.
My partner and I are acquiring a newly constructed duplex in Earlswood and my solicitor is informing me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to sign contracts and I have no desire to prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

My wife and I are selling our house in Earlswood and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Earlswood. Having lived in Earlswood for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Earlswood is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Earlswood are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Earlswood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Earlswood may ascertain 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 residence.
I have been recommended by numerous property agents in Earlswood to choose a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
