Should I be wary by estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Sunbury conveyancing practice?
As with lots of professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be very helpful. But there are many people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all put forward lawyers to choose. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that many banks specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
The lawyers carrying out our conveyancing in Sunbury has sent papers to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Surely all properties in Sunbury should be registered?
Although most properties in Sunbury are now registered with the Land Registry there are still some that remain unregistered. Any property in Sunbury 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 Sunbury 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 Sunbury conveyancing solicitors will be capable of dealing with this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty reigns the standard guidance these days is for the current owners to register it first and thereafter deal with the disposal - this no doubt cause a significant delay.
