I am not well enough to travel far from Wombourne. I would like to know the understand why all Wombourne property lawyers aren't included on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that the practice is required to have at least two partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some building societies decided to restrict the number of organisations they use to act for them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the standard of advice supplied by any Wombourne property lawyer on their approved list. Property fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels from 2008 even though there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via HMLR reveal that thousands of conveyancing firms only conduct less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel pruning question why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to remain on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Wombourne?

The closing balance that is due should be transferred a few days ahead of the day of completion.
Will my conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wombourne.

The purchaser’s conveyancers should also carry out an environmental search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be made.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wombourne is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Wombourne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wombourne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wombourne may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Wombourne

Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Wombourne conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will earn the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
