Me and my partner are purchasing a apartment in Walworth. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we have to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from Coventry BS as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Walworth. Are we obliged to choose a local Walworth solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Coventry BS don't usually appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS list.
My fiancee and I are at the point of looking at houses in Walworth and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer appointed at this stage? I will be getting a mortgage with Lloyds.
It would be sensible to commence 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 estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I require expedited conveyancing in Walworth as I am faced with a deadline to sign on the dotted line inside one month. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
If.Given you are are a mortgage free buyer you are at free not to have searches conducted although no solicitor would advise that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Walworth the following are examples of issues that can show up and therefore affect market value: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...
The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Walworth 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to locate all the suitable documentation so you may buy or sell your property without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
How do I identify a Walworth solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? I drive a motor bike and am willing to travel upto 20kilometers to meet the lawyer.

It would be wise to instruct a property lawyer now so that the lawyer can open the file so they can conduct their AML checks etc. If and when you wish them to commence work they will seek a deposit usually approximately £175. That would normally be once you have the loan offer from your bank and survey results, however should you wish to expedite matters you can get going sooner even though you may be risking some expense.
