I opted for a Sharnbrook based firm for my conveyancing in Sharnbrook last week. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I noteI am liable for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and use a web based solicitor practice promising no move no charge conveyancing in Sharnbrook?

I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to be out of my rented flat in Sharnbrook by 23/7/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?

Please help - my lawyer says that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Sharnbrook conveyancing?

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Sharnbrook. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the conveyancer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Have completed on a a detached house in Sharnbrook , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Sharnbrook conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are addressed.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Sharnbrook registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
