Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lutterworth

We are due to exchange buying a house in Lutterworth but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Kent Reliance will not agree to this. Why were they approached?

Any conveyancer being on a Kent Reliance approved list is duty bound to disclose to Kent Reliance of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the reduction to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Lutterworth.

I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Lutterworth but what is your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Lutterworth

Do not opt for the lowest Lutterworth conveyancing quote. 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We are due to move home in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Lutterworth. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent however this can only happen once the previous owners conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over.

As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Lutterworth or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Lutterworth.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Lutterworth?

Conveyancing - in Lutterworth or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes 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 purchasing and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to fix the defects prior to you move in.
