My IFA has asked me for my Sheldon solicitor’s panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I find this out. I have e-mailed my local Sheldon branch but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Sheldon conveyancer . They retain a central record lender panel numbers.
It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Sheldon. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't find my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Sheldon relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
We are downsizing from our property in Sheldon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Sheldon lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Sheldon. We have lived in Sheldon for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must 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 have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Sheldon for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Sheldon conveyancing specialists.
