Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fowey

It may have been a long time coming a loan offer from HSBC for the refinancing of my 4 room garden flat is expected by the end of next week. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing law firm in Fowey?

This site is not designed to aid those in their quest for the cheapest conveyancing in Fowey. Our intention is to offer excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing brokers teasing you with ninety nine pound conveyancing in Fowey. The optimum result, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst you will end up with a surprising uplift in extras and still not end up with the service expected.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is removed from the TSB Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Fowey?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
