I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Stamford. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Stamford for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see 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 Stamford conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Stamford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Stamford contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Stamford tend to buy the site, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Stamford or who has acted in the same development.
I was pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Stamford to locate a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your site over another?
We refuse to make any commission for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
