Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rochford

Can the conveyancing solicitors to be found on your site handle auction conveyancing in Rochford?

We know of a few niche practitioners we can put you in touch with those conducting auction conveyancing. Rochford is just one of the many locations in which our lawyers are based.

We are purchasing a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Rochford who is on the Virgin Money approved panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Virgin Money . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Rochford.

We are selling our home in Rochford. Does the solicitor have to be required to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Principality conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.

We are planning on selling our property in Rochford and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Rochford. Having lived in Rochford for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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 have justfound out that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Rochford for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can make 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 Rochford conveyancing specialists.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in Rochford. I happened to discover a site which appears to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
