Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Highgate who acted for me 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Aldermore. It looks as though am now being charged double. Better the devil I know or should I try and find an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Highgate? What am I being asked for?

The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. If you refuse to provide identification documents, your solicitor can not take you on as a client.
How does conveyancing in Highgate differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Highgate contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Highgate typically buy the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Highgate or who has acted in the same development.
