We hired a Bramley based firm for our conveyancing in Bramley last week. Going through the Terms I noteI am liable for costs even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to choose an on-line solicitor practice offering no move no charge conveyancing in Bramley?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise the conveyances that do not go ahead. Also remember that these schemes generally do not cover disbursements such as Bramley conveyancing search costs.
Is it the case that all Bramley CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.
I'm at the point of viewing flats in Bramley and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a lawyer in place at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Principality.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Principality, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Principality conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Bramley solicitor on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Bramley conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Bramley.

Am I best advised to choose a Bramley conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal formalities but they are based 400miles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Bramley conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were impressed that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Bramley conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
