If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Battle you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Battle. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Battle?

Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property.

Am I right to be suspicious about third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Battle conveyancing company?
As is the case with many professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all put forward conveyancers to choose. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
