Can you vouch for a Coventry Building Society accepted Thorpe St Andrew conveyancing lawyer finish our home move within two weeks? Am I best advised to unstruct a high street Thorpe St Andrew firm or a factory type comparison site?
We can recommend some very good Thorpe St Andrew conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the main road in Thorpe St Andrew.

Select the one that appears most efficient.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.
Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, almost all mortgage companies no longer need their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the mortgagors signature. You will still be obliged to provide identification documents and there are still manifest benefits to choosing a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Thorpe St Andrew.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the main cause of delay in Thorpe St Andrew house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Thorpe St Andrew.
I am buying my first flat in Thorpe St Andrew benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I was pointed in your direction by a couple of local selling agents in Thorpe St Andrew to select a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
