The easiest method to see if the property is registered to you, 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 Ratcliff conveyancing specialists.

Should I be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Ratcliff conveyancing firm?

As is the case with many professional services, often suggestions from connections can be very helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may suggest solicitors to use. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to choose your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that the majority of mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
