I am in need of a property lawyer. Do I opt for a nationwide conveyancer rather than a local Cowfold conveyancing lawyer?

On the whole conveyancing practitioners in your area will enjoy good connections with your local authority, which could help with the Cowfold conveyancing searches that your solicitor will inevitably need. It also helps if they have strong relationships with the Land Registry covering your area Cowfold, other property lawyers in the neighbourhood and Cowfold selling agents.

Are the Cowfold conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Bank of Ireland?

Cowfold conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Bank of Ireland directly.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for delay in Cowfold conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Cowfold.

I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Cowfold for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Cowfold conveyancing specialists.
