I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Should I go for for a web based conveyancer as opposed to a local St Annes conveyancing solicitor?

Established third party connections is an important consideration when appointing conveyancing solicitors. St Annes conveyancers often have long term relationships with financial advisers and estate, local authorities, surveyors and other law firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Possessing specialist knowledge of the local area also helps too.

Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of St Annes conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel?

St Annes conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.

Have purchased a a terraced house in St Annes , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My St Annes conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my name is recorded.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in St Annes registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold house in St Annes. Conveyancing and HSBC Bank mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in St Annes who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a St Annes conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices listed on our site have assured us via an online form that they are on the bank panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific St Annes conveyancing solicitor being on the lender conveyancing panel is not accurate.
