I am looking for value for money conveyancer. Do I opt for a web based conveyancer or a local Whitmore conveyancing lawyer?
Established third party connections are another important factor to consider when appointing conveyancing lawyers. Whitmore law firms enjoy long term relationships with mortgage brokers and agents, local authorities, surveyors and other conveyancing firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Having a sound intelligence of the local area is also a plus .
I acquired my apartment on 12 October and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Whitmore advises it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Whitmore particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Whitmore registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet where 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.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Whitmore
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Whitmore ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders will not issue a loan on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Whitmore.

I have been advised by numerous property agents in Whitmore to choose a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than another?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Whitmore
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Whitmore conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
