Me and my partner are buying a apartment in Harton. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to send 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 am purchasing a property for cash in Harton. I have been living for the last twelve years in Harton. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then the vast majority of the Harton conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it could be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still reveal adverse search results.A competent conveyancing solicitor in Harton will provide you some practical advice concerning this.
I am thinking of appointing a conveyancing solicitor in Harton for my home move. Is there any facility to review a solicitor's record with the legal regulator?
