We are purchasing a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Erdington who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Virgin Money . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Erdington.
Our mortgage company has suggested solicitors on their panel based in Erdington but I would rather instruct a conveyancing lawyer in Erdington or nearer to where I live. Can you help?

My friend advised me that where I am buying in Erdington I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is occasionally included in the estimate for your Erdington conveyancing searches. It is a large document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Erdington around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Erdington Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Erdington.
How does conveyancing in Erdington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Erdington come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Erdington usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Erdington or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Erdington in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders may not grant a loan on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Erdington. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Erdington especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Erdington.
