We are buying a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Frodsham who is on the Virgin Money approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Virgin Money . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Frodsham.
There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Frodsham but how do I know who I should use?
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Frodsham conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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 the deal.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Frodsham. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Frodsham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
When it comes to lenders such as Lloyds, do Frodsham conveyancers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for delay in Frodsham conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Frodsham.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Frodsham is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Frodsham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Frodsham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Frodsham may determine 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 premises.
My uncle has encouraged me to use his conveyancers in Frodsham. Do I take his recommendation?
There are no two ways about it the ideal way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to get guidance from friends or family who have previously instructed the conveyancer you're considering.
