Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Booker?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Booker your lawyer will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. Generally this is called for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is as part of the purchase price then this should be asked for shortly in advance of contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed will be payable a few days ahead of the completion date.
Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to pop into the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Booker so that I can pop in to their offices if required.
