conveyancing

I've heard utter horror stories of what can happen with conveyancing when it goes wrong....

What about the lawyer you use for the conveyancing?How about an accountant to do your taxes?Further, how do you define who is the best?

As with conveyancing or transfer fees, a downpayment can be negotiated into a mortgage loan.

Solicitors dealing with conveyancing around Cambridge hear that a college has land anywhere near the site and tremble with fear.

Especially for simpler things like rental contracts and property conveyancing etc.

Presumably there's an ID requirement in the conveyancing somewhere and the transaction goes through a land registry?

They no longer are - if there's an obligation it's right there on the land register, just like covenants, and show up in the standard searches during the conveyancing process.

In the UK, from the time a property is listed with an estate agent to the time conveyancing is completed can be on the order of several months, if not vastly more.

I'll put down my textbook on Scottish conveyancing law here to make an observation that this idea suffers from the same delusion that 4GLs had: they were going to be the "end of programming!

I know lawyers who specialises in rape cases, conveyancing, ligitation, but I have never met a lwayer who is expected to solve a rape case today and register a bond tomorrow.

It's not fast, especially because the buyer's and seller's lawyers doing the conveyancing take their sweet time to talk to each other, the surveys take time, and dealing with the local council and land registry, etc isn't immediate.

I’m sure there are plenty of paralegals who are perfectly capable of doing standard, ordinary legal work like conveyancing or ensuring the registry of deeds is updated when property is sold.

That's crazy, in Australia conveyancing is pretty competitive, there are fixed price packages for something like $800 to $1200...Most contracts here do have a 10% deposit, but they're usually conditional on finance, building inspections etc.

From the introduction: "[T]he great purpose is automatically to quiet all titles which are openly and consistently asserted, to provide proof of meritorious titles, and to correct errors in conveyancing".
