I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer as opposed to a high street Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing lawyer?
Existing third party relationships is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing lawyers.

First, If the seller is applying a tight deadline to exchange it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and intelligence. It is possible that they could have handled otherhouses in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing solicitor. Second, ensure that the lawyer is on the lender panel.

This can often result in the legal process being delayed by almost 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales every year. Most Woodhouse Eaves conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Woodhouse Eaves)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
