Me and my partner are purchasing a property in Blackfen. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Blackfen is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
My sealed bid on a semi in Blackfen has been accepted, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Blackfen. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Blackfen conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Blackfen.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Blackfen 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know precisely where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your house without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.
Should I go with a Blackfen conveyancing practitioner based in the area that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can handle the conveyancing however his firm is located 400kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Blackfen conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Blackfen know how is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were impressed that must surpass using an unknown Blackfen conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
