Having been told to check out your service we were going to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Crews Hill recommended using your comparison tool but stumbled across some other fee calculations on the internet look less pricey – why is this?
You can find lots of conveyancing organisations marketing theoretically looks to be very low prices. Our recommendation is to think long and hard as to how important this transaction is to you that you are willing to take 'cheap' risks in relation to the standard of the legal work. Some hide fees well inside the terms of business. The law firms that we list for conveyancing in Crews Hill neverbehave this way.
We're in Crews Hill, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Santander , and our solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We are selling our house in Crews Hill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Crews Hill lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Crews Hill. Having lived in Crews Hill for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 sickness)
How does conveyancing in Crews Hill differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Crews Hill contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Crews Hill typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Crews Hill or who has acted in the same development.
