Should lawyers request money up-front for my conveyancing in Shenfield?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Shenfield your lawyer will ask you place them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is as part of the sale price then this will be asked for immediately in advance of contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is due should be transferred shortly before completion.

I am seeking to purchase a repression flat in Shenfield and the mortgagee in possession would like to complete within a month. Do lawyers complete in this timeframe? Would it be better to use a local Shenfield firm or an online firm that advertises to complete quickly?
Attend your Shenfield shopping parade. Go in to a couple of companies and ask to talk to a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Discuss your needs and get assurances on time frames. Select the firm that appears most efficient. Make sure to use a solicitor on the list of conveyancing practitioners who can act for your bank.
