I am in need of a property lawyer. Should I go for for a web based conveyancer as opposed to a high street Billericay conveyancing lawyer?

I am soon to exchange buying a property in Billericay but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Clydesdale are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your conveyancer being on the Clydesdale approved list is duty bound to advise Clydesdale of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to disclose the reduction to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Billericay.

Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend.

I bought my apartment on 9 August and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Billericay expressed confidence that it would be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Billericay uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Billericay is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
