Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rocester

The lawyer who assisted with my previous purchase has given a fee estimate £1200 for freehold conveyancing in Rocester. I’m hoping to downsize from a modern detached home for £125,000. Is this too much? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Rocester?

The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you mightcome to regret choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Don't forget to be sure the firm can act for your mortgage company. Do make use of our search tool to locate a Rocester conveyancing practice on the banks member panel which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Rocester.

Can I use your services to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Rocester even if I’m not buying or disposing of a house, for instance where I wish to buy an office in Rocester with a loan from Nottingham Building Society?

Our search tool is mainly there to select domestic conveyancing solicitors in Rocester but we have recorded at the bottom of this page a few Rocester commercial conveyancing firms. You should speak with the company directly to check if they can also act for Nottingham Building Society

This question may be naive but I am new to the process as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Rocester. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Rocester?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

is it true that all Rocester solicitor practices on the Aldermore conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Aldermore approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the CLC.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Rocester building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Rocester conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, they must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I purchased a terraced Edwardian property in Rocester. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Santander. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Santander to clarify?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Rocester and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

I am purchasing a new build house in Rocester benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it would affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have just discovered that one of the partners of the law firm handling the purchase conveyancing in Rocester is related to the seller. Is this acceptable?

Provided no conflict arises this should be fine. If you are obtaining mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many mortgage companies have specific instructions concerning this. For example for Royal Bank of Scotland as of 14/3/2026, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

No, your firm may not act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower. However, your firm may act if a separate fee earner or separate partner within the firm acts for us.
