When it comes to conveyancing in Wallasey seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Wallasey. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Wallasey bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Wallasey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I have justfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Wallasey for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
