Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Peasedown St John who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. It looks as though am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or do I try and find a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you are happy to expend time contrasting quotes you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were satisfied with the conveyancing the firm offered you couldlive to regret choosing an a cheaper solicitor. If is important to enquire that the solicitor can also act for Birmingham Midshires.

The owners have rather pushy vendors who has suggested a preliminary contract with a deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This kind of contract is unusual in Peasedown St John, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the owner has executed an exclusivity contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they receive sufficient financial inducement to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the extra amount that the owner may secure by reneging on the contract, however morally condemnable that may be.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Peasedown St John. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Peasedown St John relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is expelled from the TSB Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Peasedown St John?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. 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 for a fee.
I am due to move house in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Peasedown St John. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent but this should only occur after the vendors lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Peasedown St John or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Peasedown St John.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called my Peasedown St John building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Peasedown St John conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook Part 2 provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Peasedown St John. My financial adviser suggested a property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £150. Soon after, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
