We decided to go with a Hingham based solicitor for my conveyancing in Hingham recently. Upon checking the Ts and Cs I seewe are responsible for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or select an internet conveyancing company promising no completion no cost conveyancing in Hingham?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to counteract those conveyances that do not proceed. Dont forget that these schemes generally do not protect you from expenses by way of example Hingham conveyancing search expenses.
When does exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Hingham and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Hingham you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we recommend provide a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Hingham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

How does conveyancing in Hingham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hingham contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Hingham usually purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Hingham or who has acted in the same development.
