Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Congleton?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Congleton your lawyer will ask you to provide them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the total price then this should be required shortly in advance of contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is due should be transferred a couple of days ahead of the day of completion.
We are planning to move house in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Congleton. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this site.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your selling agent but this can only happen when the vendors lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Congleton or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Congleton.
We expect to receive a AIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Congleton solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Congleton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Congleton. I have a mortgage offer with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Congleton?
Conveyancing - in Congleton or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects prior to you move in.
