My best friend’s dad is a property lawyer. I anticipate that I will be offered friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs should I be expecting for conveyancing in Rochford?
Do compare pricing. Do use our search tool on this page. The charges do contrast greatly but service levels do are distinct between law firms as is true with most professions.
We are planning to acquire a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Rochford who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Coventry BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Rochford.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Lloyds Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Rochford?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. 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.
The deeds to my home are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Rochford 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will be aware precisely where to find all the relevant documentation so you may buy or dispose of your house without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
The property lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Rochford has sent documents to review that state the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Surely all houses in Rochford should be registered?
Although most properties in Rochford are now registered with the Land Registry there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Rochford that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Rochford property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Rochford conveyancing practitioners should be familiar with such matters but if any uncertainty reigns the usual guidance presently seems to be for the vendor’s solicitor to register the title first and thereafter sell - this will predictably cause a significant delay.
