Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Pitsea who completed the legal work 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. Where you are happy to invest time scrutinising charges you might shave off some of the expense by perhaps £125. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the legal work the firm provided you mightlive to rue opting for an an unknown lawyer. Remember to ensure that the solicitor can also act for Leeds Building Society. You can make use of our search tool to get a quote a Pitsea conveyancing firm on the Leeds Building Society approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Pitsea.
Can you vouch for a Lloyds TSB Bank accepted Pitsea conveyancing conveyancer who can have us moved in within 10 days? Am I best advised to unstruct a local Pitsea practice or an internet comparison site?

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Pitsea conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
Pitsea conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Yorkshire BS directly.
How does conveyancing in Pitsea differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Pitsea come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Pitsea usually acquire the land, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Pitsea or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I hope to buy our 1st home in Pitsea. Conveyancing practitioner already chosen. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the house is just 20 yrs old.
As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises is over 10 years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any obvious problems and suggest further investigation where appropriate. Where there are any indications of problems get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
