Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hornchurch

Why would I appoint a Hornchurch conveyancing firm given that web based conveyancers are easier on the wallet?

Its a good idea to shop around for conveyancing costs in Hornchurch and you should seek a competitive estimate but don’t be focused with sourcing the lowest priced Hornchurch conveyancer. Appointing the right conveyancer can mark the distinction between a smooth and a frustrating move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert guidance from a trusted solicitor. An e-mail can never take the place of a telephone call and can never replicate a face to face consultation. The firms that we work with will allocate you a qualified and experienced conveyancing solicitor that will tackle your conveyancing from start to finish, giving the sort of continuity that you rarely receive from an web based conveyancer. He or She will keep you updated as to progress and keep you informed. If you ever need to contact the firm you will be sure who you need to speak to and we'll be sure you're not left wondering what's going on.

How can we know in advance if a Hornchurch conveyancing solicitor on the TSB panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Hornchurch seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.

I'm spending time looking at apartments in Hornchurch and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this stage? I intend to finance via a home loan with Nottingham.

It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. As you are seeking a mortgage with Nottingham, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a property in Hornchurch has been accepted, what happens next?

Your property agent will need to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (make sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Lloyds or the financial adviser and complete any relevant documentation. Lloyds will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Hornchurch.

I got the keys to my apartment on 1 October and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Hornchurch advises it should be registered inside ten days. Are transfers in Hornchurch uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Hornchurch registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How do I identify a Hornchurch law firm on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel? I have wheels and am happy to travel upto 25kilometers to meet the solicitor.
