I have todaybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Hurst for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can make 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 Hurst conveyancing specialists.

I was advised by numerous property agents in Hurst to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your services over and above another?
We don’t make any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
As co-executor for the will of my grandmother I am disposing of a residence in Neath but I am based in Hurst. My lawyer (based 300 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Hurst to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Hurst based
I'm purchasing a apartment in Hurst. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
