Do conveyancers request an advanced payment for conveyancing in Leek?
If you are buying a property in Leek your solicitor will request that you place them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches.

We are aiming to move home in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Leek. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this should only happen once the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. You should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Leek or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Leek.
About to purchase apartment in Leek. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Leek conveyancer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Leek agreed to, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The owners have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Leek. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Principality?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Leek conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the Principality approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Leek.
I am buying my first flat in Leek with a loan from TSB. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it may affect my mortgage with TSB. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
