Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Palmers Green who completed the legal work two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Coventry Building Society. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for an alternative conveyancer?

How does conveyancing in Palmers Green differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Palmers Green approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Palmers Green typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Palmers Green or who has acted in the same development.
Am I better off to use a Palmers Green conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can conduct the legal formalities but her office is approximately 350kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Palmers Green conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Palmers Green know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were happy that must surpass using an unknown Palmers Green conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.
