Having been told to check out your site we were about to use a conveyancing solicitor in Burslem found by you but have come across some other fee calculations via the web look cheaper – how come?
There are plenty of firms advertising supposedly cheap conveyancing, unfortunately it’s common in such cases for extracharges end up with the closing bill being inflated. Solicitors are duty bound to ensure costs outlined in terms of business should be equitable invoiced The conveyancers that we put forward for conveyancing in Burslem clearly state all charges for a domestic conveyancing transaction.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Burslem?
Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the mortgage company to ask if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Burslem.
Me and my brother purchased a renovated Victorian house in Burslem. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Burslem and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Burslem
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Burslem conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
Living abroad I am unable to travel my Burslem conveyancing lawyers office to execute documents for conveyancing in Burslem – will this be an issue?
You need not be concerned. Burslem conveyancing lawyers can handle conveyancing transactions for clients wider afield. You are unlikely to be required to attend a Burslem conveyancers office. They can undertake all communications via phone, post and email - whatever works for you.
