If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Camden what would it be?
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Camden conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
We previously appointed solicitors with offices in Camden on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the Nationwide mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nationwide but by your Camden conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Nationwide panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Camden differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Camden come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Camden typically acquire the land, 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 Camden or who has acted in the same development.
