How can we tell if a Oakwood conveyancing solicitor on the UBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Oakwood obtaining recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.
I'm in the process of looking at houses in Oakwood and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have my solicitor on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.
It would be prudent to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Oakwood bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Oakwood conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Oakwood ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of home.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can investigate further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Oakwood. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Oakwood to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Oakwood and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, granting the right to apply to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

As co-executor for the will of my grandmother I am selling a house in Newport but I am based in Oakwood. My lawyer (who is 200 miles awayhas requested that I execute a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Oakwood to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Oakwood
