Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Dunholme who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. I am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Dunholme. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Dunholme?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

How does conveyancing in Dunholme differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Dunholme approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Dunholme typically purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Dunholme or who has acted in the same development.
