We're in Rothbury, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Skipton , and our solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

I can see plenty of information on this site concerning conveyancing in Rothbury but what is your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Rothbury

Do not opt for the lowest Rothbury conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Rothbury. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Rothbury?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
