When does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Kelvedon and do I need to attend the lawyers office?

That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Kelvedon)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Kelvedon but how do I know who I should use?

It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Kelvedon conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.

is it true that all Kelvedon solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the RBS conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be governed by the CLC.

We had selected solicitors with offices in Kelvedon on the TSB solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a separate sum for the legal aspects of the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by TSB?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by TSB but by your Kelvedon conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the TSB panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I completed on my apartment on 14 October and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Kelvedon advises it would be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Kelvedon uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Kelvedon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
