However, the law practices we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, 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 lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Much Hadham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Do I have to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Much Hadham so that I can attend their offices if required.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with RBS. Much Hadham conveyancing practitioners were selected. How long does it take for RBS to forward the offer to the property lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have RBS conducted the survey? Have you advised RBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the RBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
We are selling our property in Much Hadham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Much Hadham lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Much Hadham. We have lived in Much Hadham for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Much Hadham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking TSB to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Much Hadham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
