Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Rawcliffe who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online property lawyer?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you are willing to invest time contrasting prices you could decrease the fees slightly by perhaps £125.

If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Rawcliffe you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email.

A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Rawcliffe)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Nottingham have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Rawcliffe has been accepted, what happens next?
The property agent will want to be informed of your property lawyer's details (make sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Nottingham or your financial adviser and finish off any appropriate forms. Nottingham will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to book a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nottingham will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Rawcliffe.
Our offer on a house in Rawcliffe has been accepted, the sellers do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Rawcliffe. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Santander started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Rawcliffe conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers would apply for the mortgage with Santander and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to press on with the conveyancing in Rawcliffe.

If you haven't yet instructed a conveyancer to do anything for you and have just received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you.
