Me and my partner are purchasing a property in Ruxley. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we will need to put funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

I am assisting my step-mother sell her property in Ruxley. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange the EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was left as a mandatory part of selling a house. An EPC must be commissioned before the property is marketed. It is not a task that solicitors ordinarily organise.

How can we tell if a Ruxley conveyancing solicitor on the panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Ruxley getting recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Ruxley I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ruxley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
I am a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the high street agent to handle our conveyancing in Ruxley. I am am extremely frustrated with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A lawyer would need to be very bad to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage been sent? If so you will need to inform them of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally should be on the lenders panel to avoid escalating expenses and delays. That should be your starting point.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
