Do contrast pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this page. The amounts may contrast greatly but the service one can expect are distinct between property lawyers as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.

When does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Meopham and am I required to be at the lawyers office?

Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Meopham you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Meopham)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is expelled from the Nottingham Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Meopham?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Meopham 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know precisely where to locate all the suitable paperwork so you can purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. If duplicates can’t be located, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
