Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Grenoside or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially your lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Grenoside should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to protect you.

There is a distinct emergence in the "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. You must always trust your conveyancer above the other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

is it true that all Grenoside conveyancing solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Grenoside bank branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Grenoside conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?

Your lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook section two requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Grenoside.

How does conveyancing in Grenoside differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Grenoside contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Grenoside usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Grenoside or who has acted in the same development.
