A mortgage offer from NatWest for the remortgage of my single bedroom maisonette is due imminently. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing law firm in Chelmsley Wood?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Chelmsley Wood. Our aim is to provide affordable conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be seduced by organisations offering the bait of ninety nine pound conveyancing in Chelmsley Wood. At best, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you being stung for additional fees and still not end up with the service required.
We're in Chelmsley Wood, FTBs buying with a mortgage (lender is Santander , and our solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We are downsizing from our property in Chelmsley Wood and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Chelmsley Wood conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Chelmsley Wood. We have lived in Chelmsley Wood for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Chelmsley Wood is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Chelmsley Wood are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chelmsley Wood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chelmsley Wood may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
