I am in the market for a low cost conveyancer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer rather than a high street Stockport conveyancing solicitor?
Existing third party connections are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing lawyers. Stockport conveyancers benefit from connections with financial advisers and Stockport, local authorities, surveyors and other conveyancing firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Having a wealth of insight into the local area also helps too.
Is there a search tool that I can use to investigate if the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in Stockport is on the bank’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Birmingham Midshires thus spending £187.00 plus VAT in another set of conveyancing invoice.

Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the main cause of stalling in Stockport conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Stockport.
How does conveyancing in Stockport differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Stockport approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Stockport typically purchase 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 Stockport or who has acted in the same development.
