Top reasons to use our service to help you select a high street conveyancing solicitor in Tower Hill

  • 1 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Tower Hill is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) sometimes falls short of the level of professionalism you will expect.
  • 2 Cut price packages from online conveyancers might seem attractive. However, these firms are often based hundreds of miles away with little appreciation of the factors that impact property transactions in Tower Hill
  • 3 Retaining the services of a local Solicitor on the whole results in a more personalised service. Online forums often suggest that in using a large conveyancing firm, you tend to be looked after by a team of people who check what is happening on the file by determining whether the ‘computers says no’.
  • 4 Solicitor conveyancing solicitors have excellent personal links with Tower Hill estate agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 5 Tower Hill conveyancing lawyers are likely to acquainted with the local Land Registry Office, Local Authority and property agents

We are aiming to move home in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Tower Hill. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your site.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent but this should only be done when the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Tower Hill or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Tower Hill.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Tower Hill building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Tower Hill conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?

The conveyancer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a flat in Tower Hill has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

The estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Barclays or your financial adviser and finalise any relevant forms. Barclays will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to get a mortgage offer. Barclays will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Tower Hill.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of obstruction in Tower Hill conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Tower Hill.

I am in the process of buying my 1st house in Tower Hill. Conveyancing solicitor has been appointed. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed 22 years ago.

At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence is over ten years old the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be enough. They will highlight any obvious issues and suggest additional investigation where relevant. Where there are any signs of problems obtain a full structural survey.
