If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Angel what would it be?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Angel conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Angel accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Angel. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nationwide going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Angel conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Angel.
How does conveyancing in Angel differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Angel contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Angel usually acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Angel or who has acted in the same development.
