We're in Gorton, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our lawyer 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 conveyancer 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.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Gorton. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Gorton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from TSB as we intend to carry out renovations to our home in Gorton. Are we obliged to select a local Gorton solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
