Why would I use a Turvey conveyancing practice given that national conveyancers are easier on the wallet?

By all means make sure that you scrutinise conveyancing costs in Turvey and you should seek an affordable estimate but don’t become consumed with searching for the lowest priced Turvey conveyancer. Finding the right conveyancer can be the difference between a seamless and a distressing home move. You need to ensure that you have expert guidance from an experienced conveyancer. An e-mail can never take the place of a phone conversation and are no substitute for a face to face meeting. The firms that we work with will allocate you a qualified and trusted conveyancing solicitor that will handle your conveyancing from from the outset to completion, providing a level of continuity that you will never get with an web based conveyancer. He or She will contact you regularly to update you on headway and keep you informed. If you ever need to call the office you will be sure who to ask for and they will be sure you are kept fully informed.

I am expecting a OIP from Co-operative this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Co-operative recommend any Turvey solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Turvey solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Turvey property lawyer having checked that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Turvey postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Turvey.

I'm buying a property in Turvey. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't see my lawyer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?

Not every individual in the practice must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
