Can conveyancing in St Giles to be completed inside two weeks?
Where you are under a tight deadline to exchange it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local connections and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherproperties in the same street. You would be best advised to use a St Giles conveyancing firm. In addition, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of St Giles conveyancing deals are delayed or derailed after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors.

Almost all St Giles conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.
