As someone unfamiliar with the Shenley conveyancing process what is your top tip you can impart for the home moving process in Shenley

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Shenley and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, estate agent and on occasion your lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Shenley should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

We are witnessing a distinct creep in the "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. You should always trust your conveyancer ahead of the other parties in the conveyancing process.

How can we tell if a Shenley conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Shenley getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Shenley conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Shenley surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

HSBC have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Shenley has been agreed to, now what?

Your property agent will need to be advised as to your solicitor's details (make sure the lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Telephone HSBC or the broker and finish off any appropriate forms. HSBC will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. HSBC will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Shenley.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Shenley with the purpose of saving time on the sale process?

• Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Shenley can be reduced if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers.
If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate. Organising a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming formality and slows down many a Shenley conveyancing deal. If a reissued share certificate is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your conveyancers. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is under 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. Some Shenley leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors.

We are first time buyers just having agreed a price on a property in Shenley, and are now looking to get solicitors lined up. I have made use of the different comparison based websites and the quotes are from all over the country. Is it important to have a Shenley lawyer local to our prospective property? We are content to do everything electronically, but I am thinking at some stage we may be required to visit the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign papers?

On the whole there is no requirement to attend the office of your conveyancing practitioner, they can send any relevant documents to you, which you can sign and send back. Many home movers choose to use a locally based solicitor, but it is not a prerequisite for conveyancing in Shenley.
