A loan agreement from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 2 room garden flat is expected by the end of next week. Could you recommend a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Nechells?

You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in Nechells. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint brokers teasing you with low cost conveyancing in Nechells. At best, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst it will result in you invoiced for additional fees and still not get the service required.

Is it realistic for conveyancing in Nechells to be concluded in under two weeks?

First, If the seller is applying a tight deadline to exchange it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local connections and intelligence. It is possible that they could have transacted previousproperties in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Nechells conveyancing lawyer. In addition, double check that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is claimed that 18% of Nechells conveyancing deals are suspended or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by almost 21 days. It is claimed that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home moves every year. Most Nechells conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

My partner and I are selling our home in Nechells and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Nechells. We have lived in Nechells for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 opted to have a survey completed on a property in Nechells before retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Nechells. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Nechells especially if they are familiar with such properties in Nechells.

My brother is buying a garden flat in Nechells. He was given a quote by the conveyancing practitioner connected to the selling agents and it came to £1300 . It was seven years ago I sold and purchased a house and the fee was £just under five hundred pounds. Have fees really escalated to that extent?

You should contact a few local Nechells conveyancing solicitors requesting prices. You should base your decision not only on cost, but on promptness and on how comprehensive the response is.
