My partner’s sister is a solicitor. I hope that I'll be able to get mate’s pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Hereford?
You should compare pricing. Make use of our search tool on this site. The amounts do contrast greatly but the service one can expect differ between solicitors as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
I have been told that property searches are a common reason for stalling in Hereford house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Hereford.
I have todaybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Hereford for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Hereford conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing a new build house in Hereford with a loan from Aldermore. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My wife and I have selected a Hereford conveyancing solicitor for our home move (FTB’s) and have picked up in the Ts and Cs that they are not governed by the Financial Conduct Authority. Need I be concerned or is that standard with lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set specific stipulations in place on monies sitting on client account.
