Is there a reason to use a Charterhouse conveyancing company when online alternatives are less overpriced?

Our lawyers will update you on headway making sure that you are never in the dark. Should you need to phone the firm you will be sure who you need to speak to and we'll ensure you're not left wondering what's going on.
When does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Charterhouse and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Charterhouse you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Charterhouse)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am being advised by my lawyer that chancel insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Charterhouse?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
We had appointed solicitors located in Charterhouse on the Santander solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Santander but by your Charterhouse conveyancer. Some firms on the Santander panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Charterhouse property lawyer having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS 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. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Charterhouse postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Charterhouse.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Charterhouse completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
