Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lichfield

We are purchasing a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Lichfield who is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Principality . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Lichfield.

My aunt informed me that in purchasing a property in Lichfield there could be a number of restrictions preventing external changes to a property. Is this right?

There are anumerous of properties in Lichfield which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Lichfield should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

I am due to move property in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Lichfield. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your property agent but this should only occur once the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Lichfield or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Lichfield.

Does a directory service exist listing Virgin Money panel conveyancers in Lichfield on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings viewable on the web. If you are looking for a Lichfield property lawyer on the Virgin Money please make the most of our tool.

3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Lichfield concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in Lichfield differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Lichfield contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Lichfield tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Lichfield or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Lichfield ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Lichfield. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Lichfield especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Lichfield.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Lichfield

It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Lichfield conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
