Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Parkstone

I am in the market for a reasonably priced conveyancer. Do I opt for a national conveyancer rather than a high street Parkstone conveyancing lawyer?

Established third party relationships are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Parkstone conveyancers benefit from connections with financial advisers and property, local authorities, valuers and other conveyancing firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Having specialist insight into the local area is also a plus .

It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Parkstone. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Parkstone relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

Having invested time reading mumsnet.com for a high-quality solicitor in Parkstone, most advise that I must use a CQS assured lawyer. What is CQS?

Parkstone Conveyancing Quality Scheme solicitors have obtained accreditation under the Law Society's Scheme (CQS) The Law Society created CQS to establish evidence of quality standards in the in the legal transfer of properties. CQS enables home movers to recognise solicitor firms who provide a quality residential conveyancing. Parkstone is one of the many areas in England and Wales in which CQS have a presence. The conveyancing scheme requires practices to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self-certification, random audits and yearly assessments in order to maintain CQS status. It is open only to members of the Law Society who meet the demanding standards set by the scheme and has the support of the Legal Ombudsman.

What can a local search inform me concerning the property my wife and I purchasing in Parkstone?

Parkstone conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for example Onsearch The local search plays a central part in many a Parkstone conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home. The search should supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject headings.

Should I be concerned that third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Parkstone conveyancing company?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often referrals from relatives can be very helpful. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward conveyancers to use. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.

Am I better off to instruct a Parkstone conveyancing solicitor in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can handle the conveyancing but her office is over three hundred miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Parkstone conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Parkstone know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were content that should trump using an unknown Parkstone conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
