There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Ruskington but how do I know who I should use?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Ruskington conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying 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 the deal.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Bank of Ireland as we intend to carry out renovations to our property in Ruskington. Do we need to select a high street Ruskington solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Ruskington. I have a mortgage offer with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

As is the case with many service providers, often input from connections can be very helpful. But there are lots of parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all suggest solicitors to appoint. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your own lawyer. Don't forget that some mortgage providers have an approved list of solicitors you must use for the lender related work in your transaction.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Ruskington
We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Ruskington conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
