Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Staffordshire

Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Staffordshire who completed the legal work 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I am now being charged twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper online property lawyer?

The estimate fees are a tad high. Where you are content to expend time scrutinising charges you might trim some of the cost by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were satisfied with the legal work the firm gave you couldcome to rue choosing an an untested solicitor. Don't forget to enquire the firm can also act for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. You can use our search tool to select a Staffordshire conveyancing firm on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Staffordshire.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Staffordshire. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Staffordshire?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

Can you point me to a directory of Clydesdale panel conveyancers in Staffordshire on the Building Society Association’s Website?

No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings available online. If you are seeking to appoint a Staffordshire solicitor on the Clydesdale please use our tool.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Staffordshire is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Staffordshire are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Staffordshire you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Staffordshire may determine 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 premises.
