As someone not used to conveyancing in Corsham what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Corsham

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Corsham or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, selling agent and sometimes the bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Corsham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose interest is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.

We are witnessing a definite ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. We recommend that you should always trust your conveyancer above the other parties in the conveyancing process.

We wish to acquire a newly converted apartment in Corsham with a residential mortgage from Aldermore.We have a Corsham conveyancing solicitor but Aldermore advised that she’s not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Aldermore panel firm or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore
