I am in need of a conveyancer. Should I go for for an online conveyancer rather than a high street Bishops Cleeve conveyancing solicitor?
In the main conveyancing lawyers in your neck of the woods will benefit from strong connections with your local authority, which could assist with your Bishops Cleeve conveyancing searches that your lawyer will inevitably need. It can only be a plus if they enjoy existing relationships with the Land Registry covering your area Bishops Cleeve, other conveyancers in the neighbourhood and Bishops Cleeve selling agents.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Bishops Cleeve and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Bishops Cleeve lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bishops Cleeve. Having lived in Bishops Cleeve for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I got the keys to my apartment on 12 March and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Bishops Cleeve said it will be concluded in less than a month. Are titles in Bishops Cleeve particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Bishops Cleeve registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bishops Cleeve is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
