I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer as opposed to a local Ombersley conveyancing solicitor?

Existing third party connections is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Ombersley law firms enjoy connections with mortgage brokers and agents, local authorities, valuers and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Having vast experience in the local area is also a plus .

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Aldermore Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Ombersley?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Ombersley for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make 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 Ombersley conveyancing specialists.

I am about to complete on the purchase a property in Ombersley but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have negotiated compensation from the seller of four thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but my bank will not agree to this. Should they have been approached?

Your property lawyer listed on a lender conveyancing panel is required to disclose to the mortgage company of any changes to the purchase figure. In the event that you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the price change to your bank then they would have no choice but to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
