I am in a contract race with another buyer for a property in Roade. What can I do to speed up matters?
In a situation where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local relationships and knowledge. It is possible that they may have handled otherhouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Roade conveyancing lawyer. Second, check that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is said that just under twenty per cent of Roade conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being held up by almost three weeks. It is said that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Most Roade conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
Having sold my house in Roade last May but the buyer keeps e-mailing me complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
After completion of your disposal your conveyancer is obliged to deliver the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer must also confirm that the home loan has been repaid to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion tasks peculiar conveyancing in Roade.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Roade. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list of lawyers. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should call your solicitor and enquire if they can act for the lender. Alternatively please get in touch with Accord Mortgages Ltd who may be able to confirm.
I am downsizing from our house in Roade and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Roade conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Roade. Having lived in Roade for many years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am buying a new build flat in Roade. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Am I better off to appoint a Roade conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? An old friend can perform the conveyancing however they are based approximately 350miles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Roade conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you.
