Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Buckinghamshire and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, property agent and on occasion a mortgage company. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Buckinghamshire should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Buckinghamshire. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Buckinghamshire I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Buckinghamshire for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
Am I right to be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Buckinghamshire conveyancing company?
As with many service providers, often referrals from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are numerous people with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend solicitors to use. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
