Our aim is to provide excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by organisations teasing you with low cost conveyancing in Burnt Oak.

I do hope you can help me. My Burnt Oak solicitor is assuring me that he has toapply for Burnt Oak conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a home loan with a lender your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Burnt Oak conveyancing searches.

My wife and I are buying a apartment in Burnt Oak. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to put funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Burnt Oak. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Burnt Oak?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, UBS are being a right pain. The Burnt Oak solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
