I hired a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Billesdon last week. Upon checking the terms of engagement I seewe are responsible for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or select a web based conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Billesdon?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset those transactions that do not proceed. Dont forget that these promotions generally do not cover expenditure such as Billesdon conveyancing search charges.

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon
There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Billesdon and Solicitor firms in Billesdon to choose from It is important to make clear that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal work in the home buying process. Both can conduct other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
We previously selected conveyancing lawyers located in Billesdon on the Nationwide solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional charge for dealing with the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Nationwide?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Nationwide but by your Billesdon conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Nationwide panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
I am expecting a DIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Billesdon solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Billesdon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
I got the keys to my home on 5 August and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon advises it will be recorded in less than a month. Are transfers in Billesdon particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Billesdon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Billesdon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Billesdon approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Billesdon usually acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Billesdon or who has acted in the same development.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Billesdon
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Billesdon conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
