As someone not used to conveyancing in Shifnal what’s the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Shifnal

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Shifnal or throughout Shropshire is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For instance, the seller, property agent and on occasion a lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Shifnal is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

    Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.
