There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Penkridge but how do I know who's good?
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Penkridge conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Penkridge. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Having exchanged you will need to choose a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you are facing a tight deadline in which to complete the property.

You must hand this to the conveyancer instructed by you ASAP. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I currently have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in Penkridge. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Your original mortgage agreement with Co-operative will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. You need not do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Penkridge 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

I was advised by three or four local property agents in Penkridge to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your services ahead of a competitor’s?
We don’t offer any referral fee for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Penkridge
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Penkridge conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
