When can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Halesworth and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Halesworth you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Halesworth)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am selling our house in Halesworth and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Halesworth lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Halesworth. We have lived in Halesworth for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Halesworth conveyancing specialists.

What should I expect to pay for conveyancing in Halesworth?
Almost all Halesworth conveyancing firms will charge a fixed fee. Where extra work arise during the transaction your conveyancer must inform you in writing of any extra costs for such work as soon as it becomes foreseeable. Some practices will agree not to render an invoice if a transaction does not go ahead, others will charge a percentage of the agreed costs, depending on the stage at which the transaction does not proceed.
It is advisable to ask various practices to supply you an estimate.
