There is lots of information on this site about conveyancing in Lisson Grove but what is your top tip for selecting the right conveyancer in Lisson Grove

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Lisson Grove conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We were going to get a DIP from UBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Lisson Grove solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Lisson Grove solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.

I have justbecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Lisson Grove for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make 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 Lisson Grove conveyancing specialists.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Lisson Grove is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Lisson Grove are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lisson Grove you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lisson Grove may determine 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.
