Are you able to vouch for a Coventry Building Society accepted Bookham conveyancing firm finish our home move within a very limited time frame? Am I best advised to go for a high street Bookham firm or a factory type comparison site?

Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Bookham?
If you are buying a property in Bookham your solicitor will ask you to provide them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is called for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the purchase price then this will be needed shortly ahead of contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is needed should be transferred a couple of days prior to the completion date.
We previously appointed conveyancers based in Bookham on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional fee for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Bookham solicitor. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I'm in the process of looking at houses in Bookham and I am about to put in an offer. Is it sensible to have my lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Virgin Money.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
My offer on a property in Bookham has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Bookham. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Bookham conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
We are buying a property and the lawyer has mentioned Chancel Repair for which the house could be obligated to pay because it falls into the area of such a church. She has suggested insurance. Is this really warranted for conveyancing in Bookham
