We're in Harlow, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is RBS , and our solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor 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.

My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Kent Reliance as we intend to carry out alterations to our property in Harlow. Do we need to appoint a nearby Harlow solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Kent Reliance don't usually appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Kent Reliance list.
I've digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Harlow solicitor - who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Harlow surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Taking into account that I will soon spend £400,000 on a property in Harlow I would like to talk to a lawyer regarding thetransaction prior to instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
This is something that we encourage - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be doing your conveyancing in Harlow.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a matter number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Harlow should be the figure that you are charged.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use their preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Harlow
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Harlow conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
