Reasons to use our Wollaston conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 No matter what any other on-line conveyancers tell you it may be necessary to attend your solicitor to execute contracts. There are various parties with with an interest in a house sale without having to add Royal Mail into the equation.
  • 2 The practices listed on our directory have a variation of conveyancing practitioners, legal executives and support staff handling thousands of conveyancing matters each year.
  • 3 Lawyer conveyancing lawyers have very good personal connections with Wollaston estate agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 4 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Wollaston is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) often falls short of the high standards of professionalism you will expect.
  • 5 Excellent communication and pure property expertise are key benefits that you should look for when selecting conveyancing solicitors. Wollaston conveyancing can become a lot more stressful due to lack of transparency between all the parties. The lawyers we work with ensure that communication channels are open and act on arising issues and developments quickly.

Examples of recent conveyancing in Wollaston since August 2026*

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wollaston

We were just about to exchange contracts for a semi detached house in Wollaston. We encountered a stumbling block. Our mortgage offer with Halifax expires on 5/1/2027 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 7/1/2027. Is it possible to extend the mortgage offer?

The best person to deal with your concern is your solicitors who should determine whether he or she is corresponding with the lender, owner’s solicitors, selling agents or possibly all three based on the history of your conveyancing to date.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Wollaston costs more?

Wollaston leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

I am in the process of refinancing my house in Wollaston, does my lawyer need to be on the Aldermore Solicitor panel?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Aldermore will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Wollaston

It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Wollaston conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I am helping my step-mother sell her house in Wollaston. Will the solicitor commission the energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?

After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates became a required element of moving house. An energy assessment needs to be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. It is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Wollaston conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with reputable Wollaston assessors

The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Wollaston. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Barclays?

You must advise Barclays before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. You need not do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel firm.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Wollaston in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders may not give a mortgage on a flying freehold property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wollaston. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Wollaston especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Wollaston.

I have been pointed in your direction by numerous estate agents in Wollaston to find a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your services rather than a competitor’s?

We refuse to give any financial incentive for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
