There is lots of here concerning conveyancing in Needham Market but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Needham Market

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Needham Market conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Needham Market on the Leeds Building Society solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate sum for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Leeds Building Society?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Needham Market solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.

Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office.
