The property market in Dore is hotting up. What can I do to accelerate the buying process?
First, If you are under pressure for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and know-how. It is even conceivable that they would have transacted otherhomes in the same road. Therefore consider using a Dore conveyancing solicitor. Second, check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Dore conveyancing deals are suspended or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being delayed by almost three weeks. It is said that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home moves every year. Most Dore conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check at the outset.
I am assisting my niece sell her property in Dore. Does the solicitor order the energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was retained a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy assessment must be to hand prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not a task that solicitors normally organise. Where you are instructing a Dore conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with reputable Dore energy assessors

Planning on purchasing a house in Dore. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Dore conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
