Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Seaham

Why would I instruct a Seaham conveyancing company given that national conveyancers are cheap by comparison?

Its a good idea to compare conveyancing costs in Seaham and you should seek a reasonable estimate but don’t become consumed with hunting for the lowest priced Seaham conveyancer. Appointing the right conveyancer can be the difference between a seamless and a frustrating home move. You need to ensure that you have expert guidance from a specialist solicitor. An e-mail can never replace a telephone call and can never replicate a face to face appointment. The firms that we work with will allocate you a qualified and trusted conveyancing solicitor that will deal with your conveyancing from start to finish, giving the sort of hand holding that you rarely receive from an online conveyancer. Our lawyers will update you on headway and keep you informed. If you ever need to phone the firm you will know who you need to speak to and they will endeavour to make sure that you're not left wondering what's going on.

Can the conveyancing solicitors to be found on your site carry out auction conveyancing in Seaham?

There are a few auction lawyers we can put you in touch with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Seaham is just one of our areas of where our lawyers are based.

We note that you have a search directory identifying law firms on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Seaham?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Seaham.

We are selling our home in Seaham. Will the conveyancer need to be required to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for stalling in Seaham house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Seaham.

I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Seaham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Seaham conveyancing specialists.
