Our sealed bid on a detached house in Holmes Chapel has been agreed to, the sellers do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Holmes Chapel.

The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market.

I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Holmes Chapel to choose a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site over another?
We don’t offer any financial incentive for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
