My previous conveyancer has given a fee calculation of £1150 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Mawsley. I’m hoping to sell a newly refurbished detached home for £150,000. This seems overpriced. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Mawsley?

When can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Mawsley and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Mawsley you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we work with offer a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Mawsley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

How does conveyancing in Mawsley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Mawsley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Mawsley tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Mawsley or who has acted in the same development.
Do I need to be suspicious that brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Mawsley conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be most helpful. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may recommend lawyers to appoint. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most banks specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
Should one as executor remove a departed person's details from the title deeds for a property in Mawsley?
If a Mawsley property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, their name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to remove their name as in the event of a disposal you would simply be required to supply proof why the other proprietor is missing from the contract, typically this takes the form of the probate documents.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing more straight forward for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased party erased from the title register by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
