If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Woodside what would it be?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Woodside conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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 time.
Is it the case that all Woodside solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the CLC.
My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our home loan from Virgin Money as we want to conduct improvements to our house in Woodside. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Woodside solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Virgin Money do not ordinarily require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money list.
