Having sold my house in Woolavington last March but our buyer keeps Skype messaging me to moan that his conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your sale your lawyer should forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your lawyer should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion steps specific conveyancing in Woolavington.
We are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Woolavington with a homeloan from Birmingham Midshires.We use our Woolavington conveyancing solicitor but Birmingham Midshires advised that she’s not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Birmingham Midshires panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Birmingham Midshires panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors needs to be on the Birmingham Midshires conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Birmingham Midshires

We have been informed by various estate agents to expect up to two months for Woolavington conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The paperwork was only received from the vendors lawyer a couple of days ago so does the clock start running now?
You should take with some degree of scepticism any assurance as to fast completion times. Rather you should enquire about the average timeframe to complete Woolavington conveyancing transactions and whether they are happy to aim towards your proposed completion date for your house move in Woolavington
