I am acquiring a property for cash in Ledbury. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Ledbury. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Ledbury conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes premises with functional issues can still show up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Ledbury should be able to give you some constructive advice concerning this.
We note that you have a post code search directory listing firms on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Ledbury?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Ledbury.
Our lender has suggested solicitors on their panel based in Ledbury but I would rather use a conveyancing lawyer in Ledbury or nearer to where I live. Are you able to help?

We are due to move property in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Ledbury. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the estate agent but this can only take place when the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. You can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Ledbury or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Ledbury.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Principality as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Ledbury. Do we need to appoint a high street Ledbury solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Principality don't usually instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality panel.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Ledbury property lawyer on the Leeds Building Society panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Ledbury
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Ledbury conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures set by senior management.
I have chosen a Ledbury conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (FTB’s) and have spotted in the engagement letter that they are not covered by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be concerned or is that the norm with solicitor?
We can't see why they should be. Most lawyer don't lend money. They will be governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set strict rules in relation to amounts deposited on client account.
