I was told yesterday by my financial adviser that my Shirley property lawyer is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?

The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Shirley conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Shirley conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.

We are buying a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Shirley who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Skipton . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Shirley.

Is there a search tool that I can use to find out if the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in Shirley is on the bank’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Lloyds TSB Bank thus paying £187.00 plus VAT in additional legal fees.

Please do make the most of the search tool on this web page. Please choose the lender and type ‘Shirley’ or your location and you will be presented with numerous conveyancers located in Shirley or by proximity to you.

Given that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Shirley I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer concerning thehouse move before instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Shirley.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a file reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for your conveyancing in Shirley should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

Looking forward to sign contracts shortly on a studio apartment in Shirley. Conveyancing solicitors assured me that they are sending me a report tomorrow. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Shirley conveyancing firm to help?

Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a Shirley conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Shirley flat is 29 Woodstock Road in April 2014. the Tribunal determined that the premiums to be paid into court in respect of the purchase of the freehold registered at HMLR under Title N0.SY3997 should be £7,217. This case was in relation to 4 flats. The unexpired lease term was 98 years.
