Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Purley who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being charged double. Should I hunt for a cheaper internet property lawyer?

When can the exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Purley and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Purley you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Purley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Purley so that I can attend their offices when needed.
Whereas this was necessary ten years ago, almost all lenders no longer oblige their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to supply identification documents and there are still manifest advantages to choosing a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Purley.
The deeds to our home can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Purley 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title deeds to prove you are the registered proprietor of land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Purley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Purley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Purley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Purley may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
