The housing market in Clevedon is heating up. What can be done to speed up the legal process?
In a situation where you are under time constraints for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they may have transacted otherproperties in the same street. Therefore consider using a Clevedon conveyancing lawyer. In addition, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Clevedon conveyancing deals are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the transaction being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is said that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Many Clevedon conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.
Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Clevedon conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the RBS conveyancing panel?
Clevedon conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from RBS directly.
