The sensible course of action for you to take is to call your Handforth lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.

After scouring moneysavingexpert.com for an affordable lawyer in Handforth, most comment that I should look for a CQS kitemarked lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in buying or selling property, trusted by some of the UK's leading lenders. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Association of British Insurers (ABI). The scheme does not cover licenced conveyancers. Handforth is one of the numerous areas of the UK where there are Accredited lawyers.

Me and my partner are buying a property in Handforth. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we will need to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Handforth. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?

Having exchanged you will need to find a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you will have a pending a drop dead date to complete the purchase. An auction property should have a corresponding auction pack. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor requires. In the case of leasehold property the auction pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation pertinent to a leasehold property. You need to give this to the solicitor working for you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

We were going to get a OIP from Clydesdale this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Handforth solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Handforth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

I am planning on selling our house in Handforth and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Handforth. Having lived in Handforth for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

How do I use your search tool to get a fee calculation from a conveyancing solicitor in Handforth on the authorised to act for my bank?

1st pick a mortgage company such as Barclays , Barnsley Building Society or Nottingham Building Society then choose your preferred area a common one being Handforth. Conveyancing firms in Handforth and across England and Wales should be identified.
