Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Nationwide Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Moor Row?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I have justbeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Moor Row for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Moor Row conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Moor Row differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Moor Row contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Moor Row usually buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Moor Row or who has acted in the same development.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Moor Row prior to appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold property.

The benefit of a high street Moor Row conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were impressed that should surpass using an unknown Moor Row conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
