Why would one instruct a Yiewsley conveyancing practice given that internet based alternatives are easier on the wallet?
By all means make sure that you scrutinise conveyancing costs in Yiewsley and you should seek a reasonable estimate but don’t waste your energy scouring the internet for the cheapest Yiewsley conveyancer. Locating the right conveyancer can mark the difference between a smooth and a stressful move. You need to ensure that you have expert advice from a trusted solicitor. Emails can't be as helpful as a phone conversation and are no substitute for a one to one meeting. The firms that we work with will appoint you a qualified and experienced conveyancing solicitor who can tackle your conveyancing from beginning to end, providing a level of continuity that you rarely receive from an internet conveyancer. He or She will update you as to headway and keep you informed. If you ever need to phone the firm you will be sure who you need to speak to and we'll be sure you are kept fully informed.
The owners of the house we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Yiewsley who has insisted on a exclusivity agreement with a down payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
There are two main downsides with executing a lock out agreement (also referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from making progress with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not promoted by Yiewsley conveyancing lawyers for this reason. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved purchaser is not likely to be granted an injunction to prohibit the seller selling to a third party, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of abortive charges and, in limited scenarios, the additional payment of penalties.
Completed the sale of my flat in Yiewsley last June but our buyer keeps texting me complaining that her lawyer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your disposal your lawyer is duty bound to deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where appropriate, your lawyer must also confirm that the home loan has been repaid to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Yiewsley.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Yiewsley concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Yiewsley. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Yiewsley

A licensed conveyancer dealt with my conveyancing in Yiewsley seven years ago having archived my registration documents but has now closed – What steps do I now take to retreive these?
Deeds, as such, no longer exist as the majority of properties in Yiewsley are recorded digitally at Land Registry. If you need to show ownership or are selling or re-mortgaging your conveyancer will need to obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
If you feel there may be other documents or you have any other queries please e-mail your request with details of the transaction and documents you need to filerequest@clc-uk.org. The CLC will let you know what information they have and any additional information they may need before they are in a position to identify and send the documents to you. Following an intervention it may take some time for the CLC to access archived files and documents, but your request will be actioned with reasonable haste.
