    Hi all,

    I am currently looking at getting a solicitor on board for my house.

    I first off need to transfer the site to my name from parents.

    I have rang the Land Reg office and requested the maps (with the folio numbers) but that's as far as I have got.

    I am going shopping around for a solicitor this week.

    I am going DL so i'm not sure what other services I will need the solicitor for, i guess mortgage draw downs:confused:.

    has anyone here gone through this process, and ideas of what's involved. and even prices would be handy.

    As always many thanks.

    Yea, you'll need a solicitor for the mortgage aswell.

    You will also need an Engineer/Surveyor/Architect to prepare the maps for the transfer.
    It would make sense to use the same person/company to prepare the planning application.

    I've recently gone through the same process as you OP.

    We used the solicitor for land transfer, my wife's father to her. Then we used the same solicitor to arrange the mortgage, the signing and the drawing down of the payments.

    Because it was a gift from her father to her I had to get independent legal advice, as required by the mortgage lenders.

    More info here and described better by a solicitor here

    A word of warning. I went for the cheapest solicitor I could find. I now find myself in a quagmire of sh*te because the solicitor did not register the title on my site. The siatuation is on-going but it will cost me a lot of money to extract myself from this mess.

    So by all means consider cost but first, above all, look at REPUTATION. Never assume everyone is as honest and diligent as you are - big mistake.
