In the event thatI were to acquire a simple residential homein Woking mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Woking?

The sole saving you would make on is the costs for searches. The conveyancing practitioner is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it won't be a lot.

As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Woking what is your top tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Woking

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Woking and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes the lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Woking should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

We're in Woking, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor 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.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Woking in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may not grant a loan on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Woking. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Woking to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

We have been informed by many friends to expect six to eight weeks for Woking conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The draft contract was only forwarded from the vendors conveyancer yesterday so does the clock start running now?

Don't rely on moving on a certain date until exchange of contracts occurs. Regardless of the assurances the people you are acquiring from or selling to make, or your estate agent gives don't rely on them. More stress is caused to home movers by false promises than anything else.
