My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Houghton Regis. I I would like to check whether they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing you should do is contact your solicitor and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can get in touch with Clydesdale who may be able to assist.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Houghton Regis what would it be?
Do not opt for the cheapest Houghton Regis conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Houghton Regis. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Houghton Regis?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
