It may have been a long time coming a mortgage agreement from NatWest for the remortgage of my 4 bedroom garden flat is coming imminently. Are you able to put forward a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Sherston?

You have arrived at the wrong site to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Sherston. Our intention is to offer affordable conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be fooled by organisations teasing you with low cost conveyancing in Sherston. At best, in deciding on low cost conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst you will end up spending a lot in additional fees and still not end up with the service required.

Can you help? My Sherston conveyancer is assuring me that she is duty bound toconduct Sherston conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Nat Westsolicitor panel. Is my lawyer correct?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Sherston conveyancing searches.

Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Sherston conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel?

Sherston conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Clydesdale directly.

How does conveyancing in Sherston differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Sherston come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Sherston usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Sherston or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Sherston is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Sherston are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sherston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sherston may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My fiance and I have just become aware that one of the partners of the law firm undertaking the purchase conveyancing in Sherston is a relative of the seller. Is this acceptable?

As long as there is no conflict of interest this is permitted. Where you are obtaining a mortgage then the lender may have a say as many mortgage companies have specific instructions concerning this. For example for Virgin as of 17/10/2025, 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 and you must tell us immediately.
