Reasons to use our Upper Norwood conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 Regardless other solicitors may claim it could be important to attend your conveyancer to sign contracts. There are enough parties engaged in a conveyancing transaction without having to include the postman into the pot.
  • 2 Upper Norwood solicitors work in partnership with Upper Norwood estate agents, house builders, surveyors, lenders and other professionals to ensure that a quality service is offered to home movers every step of the way, helping make the process as straightforward as possible
  • 3 Conveyancer conveyancing solicitors have excellent personal links with Upper Norwood selling agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 4 Low cost packages from online conveyancers might be tempting. However, these firms are often based many miles away with limited appreciation of the factors that affect property transactions in Upper Norwood
  • 5 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Upper Norwood is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) sometimes falls short of the high standards of professionalism you would hope for.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Upper Norwood. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

We are downsizing from our house in Upper Norwood and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Upper Norwood. Having lived in Upper Norwood for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Upper Norwood for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out 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 Upper Norwood conveyancing specialists.

Is it best to choose a Upper Norwood conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can perform the legal work but his firm is located 300miles away.

The benefit of a high street Upper Norwood conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Upper Norwood conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
