Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Longhope

At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Longhope and do I need to attend the solicitors office?

If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Longhope you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Longhope)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am considering applying for a Yorkshire BS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Longhope with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, but Yorkshire BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

I have been recommended by three or four local property agents in Longhope to locate a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services rather than a competitor’s?

We refuse to make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
