As someone clueless as to the Telford conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Telford

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Telford and elsewhere in Shropshire is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, estate agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Telford should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

We are witnessing a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer ahead of the other parties in the home moving process.

We are selling our apartment in Telford. Will the lawyer need to be required to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.

Various web forums that I have come across warn that are the primary cause of stalling in Telford house deals. Is this right?

I decided to have a survey done on a property in Telford before appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Telford. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
