Existing third party connections are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing lawyers. Addlestone law firms often have connections with mortgage brokers and property, local authorities, surveyors and other conveyancing firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Hosting a sound intelligence of the local area is also a plus .
Is it realistic for conveyancing in Addlestone to be done inside 3 weeks?
In the event that the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will have local connections and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they could have conducted previoushouses in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Addlestone conveyancing lawyer. Second, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is believed that 18% of Addlestone conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being held up by an average of 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales every year. Most Addlestone conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
Are the BSA planning on creating a online directory to to identify firms on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for example in Addlestone?
We are not aware of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.
We are downsizing from our house in Addlestone and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Addlestone. Having lived in Addlestone for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Are Addlestone conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to publish clear conveyancing costs?
Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are specific rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not intended as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Addlestone or further afield.
