How can we tell if a Sedgefield conveyancing solicitor on the Barclays panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Sedgefield getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Sedgefield conveyancing lawyers were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from TSB?
There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB completed the valuation? Have you informed TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
My offer on a detached house in Sedgefield has been accepted, the owners do however have a connected purchase. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Sedgefield. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Barclays started?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Sedgefield conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with searches.

How does conveyancing in Sedgefield differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Sedgefield contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Sedgefield tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Sedgefield or who has acted in the same development.
