Can I be sure that the Hunstanton conveyancing solicitor on the Yorkshire BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Hunstanton obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
I am expecting a OIP from Coventry BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Hunstanton solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Hunstanton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
My sealed bid on a semi in Hunstanton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Hunstanton. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Nationwide started?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Hunstanton conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Hunstanton.
