It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Shirebrook. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could be archived with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Shirebrook relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Can I be sure that the Shirebrook conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Shirebrook obtaining recommendations is a good 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 advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
We were going to get a DIP from Nationwide this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Shirebrook solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Shirebrook solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Shirebrook. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
