There is lots of here about conveyancing in Leicestershire but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Leicestershire
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Leicestershire conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
My wife and I are in the throws of viewing houses in Leicestershire and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this stage? I will be getting a home loan with Nationwide.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Nationwide, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Leicestershire agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Leicestershire. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Leicestershire conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Leicestershire.

What does commercial conveyancing in Leicestershire cover?
Non domestic conveyancing in Leicestershire covers a broad array of guidance, given by regulated solicitors, relating to business property.

I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Leicestershire. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and service payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
