Why would I instruct a Loughton conveyancing practice given that internet based conveyancers are less overpriced?
Its a good idea to contrast conveyancing costs in Loughton and you should seek a competitive quote but don’t expend your energy getting the cheapest Loughton conveyancer. Finding the right conveyancer can be the difference between a seamless and a distressing house move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert guidance from a specialist lawyer. Emails can't take the place of a telephone call and can never replicate a one to one meeting. The firms that we work with will allocate you a qualified and experienced conveyancing solicitor who can deal with your conveyancing from from the outset to completion, providing a level of hand holding that you rarely receive from an web based conveyancer. He or She will keep you updated as to any developments and keep you informed. If you ever need to phone the firm you will know who to ask for and we'll ensure you are in the know.
We're in Loughton, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is TSB , and our lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer 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 purchasing a house in Loughton. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

We are planning to move house in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Loughton. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent however this should only happen once the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. You will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Loughton or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Loughton.

I'm buying my first flat in Loughton with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it would put at risk my loan with Leeds Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Loughton in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Loughton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Loughton to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
