Top 5 reasons to let us help you find a high street conveyancing solicitor in Montacute

  • 1 Our site is the only site offering you the ability to ensure that your conveyancing in Montacute will be carried out by a property lawyer on your lender’s approved panel.
  • 2 Using a high street Solicitor on the whole means that you will receive a more personal touch. Online forums often suggest that in appointing a large conveyancing firm, your conveyancing is dealt with by a team of people who check what is happening on the file by reading from their computer screens.
  • 3 Low cost packages from online conveyancers might be tempting. However, these firms are often located many miles away with little appreciation of the factors that impact property transactions in Montacute
  • 4 Firms that specialise in conveyancing in Montacute are familiar with the local issues specific to Montacute and therefore you may benefit from better advice and expeditious conveyancing.
  • 5 Personal touch and pure property local knowledge are key benefits that you should value when selecting conveyancing solicitors. Montacute home moves can become significantly more protracted due to lack of transparency between all the parties. The lawyers listed strive to make sure that communication channels are open and act on arising issues and developments expeditiously.

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Montacute

How up to date is your database of Montacute solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Do Leeds Building Society send you an updated list?

Montacute conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Leeds Building Society directly.

The Montacute conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Montacute have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the TSB conveyancing panel and my family Montacute lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the TSB conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Montacute and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Montacute lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Montacute. We have lived in Montacute for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Montacute. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Montacute

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Montacute

It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Montacute conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

If instructed can a conveyancer remove a name from the title of my home in Montacute ?

Removing or adding someone to the title of your home is relatively straightforward. You’ll need to appoint a lawyer to discuss your legal rights before you can proceed with a transfer of property. Contact us to book a free consultation with one a solicitor
