I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a Shepperton based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank and determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Shepperton.
I have justfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Shepperton for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, 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 Shepperton conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Shepperton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Shepperton contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Shepperton typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Shepperton or who has acted in the same development.

I bought a property in Shepperton last 26/6/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with HMLR. It was part of a development site and my solicitor told me that it can take over a year to register. I have spoken with the Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Do I need to be concerned?
