Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Marlow who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. I am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I seek out an alternative property lawyer?
The estimate fees are a little high. If you you were to look around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were pleased with the assistance the firm provided you mightcome to rue choosing an an unknown lawyer. Remember to ensure that the solicitor can represent Yorkshire Building Society.

All was ready to complete my purchase in Marlow next Friday. My conveyancer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 conditions. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Marlow.
When can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Marlow and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Marlow you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Marlow)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We're in Marlow, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
