We're in Small Heath, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Kent Reliance , and our lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
My solicitor has informed me that missing deeds insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Small Heath conveyancing?
The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

About to purchase apartment in Small Heath. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Small Heath lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Small Heath differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Small Heath contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Small Heath typically purchase the real estate, 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 Small Heath or who has acted in the same development.
