I am in the market for a low cost property lawyer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer rather than a family Wavertree conveyancing solicitor?
On the whole conveyancing lawyers in your location will benefit from good connections with your local authority, which can help with your Wavertree conveyancing searches that your lawyer will need to carry out. It can only assist if they have good connections with the Local Land Registry Office your area Wavertree, other conveyancers in the neighbourhood and Wavertree Estate Agents.
I am selling our house in Wavertree and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wavertree. Having lived in Wavertree for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Just acquired a detached house in Wavertree , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Wavertree conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the post completion formalities are addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Wavertree registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Wavertree differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wavertree contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Wavertree 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 conveyancers 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 Wavertree or who has acted in the same development.

I have recently placed an offer on an apartment in Wavertree and the broker that we are dealing with recommended his lawyer. She quoted nine hundred pounds excluding VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound expensive?
