I have recentlybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Acle for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

My cousin has encouraged me to use his conveyancers in Acle. Should I use them?

New build sellers have put forward a solicitor and I've obtained an estimate from them. It's nearly £250 less expensive than my preferred Acle conveyancer. Should I use them?
Developers normally have panels of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the builder's contract and lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to select a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they want exchange inside a month. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may be reluctant to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Acle lawyer.
