Conveyancing in Tewkesbury : Keep it Local

5 reasons to let us help you find a local conveyancing solicitor in Tewkesbury

  • 1 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Tewkesbury is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) sometimes falls short of the level of professionalism you would hope for.

The lawyers we work with endeavour to make sure that communication channels are open and act on arising issues and developments expeditiously.
  • 3 Low cost packages from online conveyancers might seem attractive. However, these companies are often located hundreds of miles away with limited understanding of the factors that affect property transactions in Tewkesbury
  • 4 We are the UKs largest residential conveyancing directory service identifying mortgage company approved property lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Tewkesbury governed by the SRA or Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in home moving process, trusted by some of the UK's major mortgage companies.

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian property in Tewkesbury. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Tewkesbury and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Tewkesbury before retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to issue a mortgage on such a premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Tewkesbury. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Tewkesbury to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Tewkesbury and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Tewkesbury. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Tewkesbury area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Tewkesbury. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

Finally our conveyancing in Tewkesbury completes on Friday, yet the people I am buying from wishes to move out 24 hours later at midday. Can I agree to such a idea?

Where you require a mortgage then your conveyancer will demand that you have vacant possession on Friday - the bank will demand it.
