Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Oxfordshire

As a first time buyer what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart about purchase conveyancing in Oxfordshire?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Oxfordshire and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, estate agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Oxfordshire should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

On occasion a potential adversary may try and convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Oxfordshire. I need to find out whether they are on the Skipton Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you assist?

You should e-mail the conveyancer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should get in touch with Skipton Building Society who may be able to assist.

Do I find a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Oxfordshire?

There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Oxfordshire and Solicitor firms in Oxfordshire to choose from It is important to make clear that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal work in transferring property. Both can conduct associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.

Can I be sure that the Oxfordshire conveyancing solicitor on the Principality panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Oxfordshire obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.

Intending to buy a flat in Oxfordshire. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Oxfordshire conveyancer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Oxfordshire is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Oxfordshire are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Oxfordshire you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Oxfordshire may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I'm refinancing my current home to a buy to let loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity towards another property. The neighborhood we are interested in is Oxfordshire. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of lenders and tie in the transactions?

Do use our search tool on this page to be sure that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels. Having checked that they are the conveyancer should be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you solicitor and specify your expectations and needs.

My father has suggested that I use his conveyancers in Oxfordshire. Should I choose my own property lawyer?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Oxfordshire conveyancing lawyer the best way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to have feedback from friends or relatives who have experience in using the conveyancer you're contemplating using.
