My Conveyancer in Cinderford is not on the Birmingham Midshires Conveyancing Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the Birmingham Midshires panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Cinderford lawyers but Birmingham Midshires will need to retain a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing charges and cause frustration.
- Find an alternative practitioner to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are on the Birmingham Midshires panel
I am planning on selling our property in Cinderford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Cinderford. We have lived in Cinderford for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation 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 check with 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have todaybeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Cinderford for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Cinderford conveyancing specialists.

-
Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
