Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Molesey you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email.

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Molesey 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.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Molesey lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale 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 Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, 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 Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Molesey completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 residence 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.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Molesey prior to retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on such a property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Molesey. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I have finally had an offer on an flat in Molesey accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have submitted an offer on on an apartment, although it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have selected a local conveyancing lawyer in Molesey. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with RBS started with RBS?
It is standard to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Molesey conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the RBS approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Molesey.
