If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Newbury what would it be?
Do not opt for the lowest Newbury conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. 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.
Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Newbury. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Given that you are now to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to instruct a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are facing a pending deadline in which to complete the deal.

You need to pass this on to the lawyer working for you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is principally there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
