Cheap conveyancing in Wadebridge does not necessarily mean low quality - but the odds are stacked against you

Reasons to use our Wadebridge conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 No matter what any other solicitors inform you it may be necessary to attend your solicitor to execute contracts. Too many 3rd parties are already with an interest in a conveyancing transaction without having to add the postman into the equation.
  • 2 Low cost packages from online conveyancers might seem attractive. However, these firms are often located hundreds of miles away with limited appreciation of the factors that affect property transactions in Wadebridge
  • 3 The organisations identified on our directory have a variation of conveyancing practitioners, legal executives and support staff handling over one hundred thousand cases annually.
  • 4 Firms accustomed to conveyancing in Wadebridge are familiar with the local concerns specific to Wadebridge and therefore you may benefit from better advice and faster conveyancing.
  • 5 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Wadebridge is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) often falls short of the level of professionalism you will expect.

My husband and I are buying a newly built duplex in Wadebridge and my conveyancer is advising me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and I don't want to prolong matters. is my lawyer playing by the book?

I can see plenty of information on this site concerning conveyancing in Wadebridge but can you isolate your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Wadebridge

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Wadebridge 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

How can we know in advance if a Wadebridge conveyancing solicitor on the Virgin Money panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Wadebridge getting recommendations is a sensible 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 advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Wadebridge off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with RBS. 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?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of stalling in Wadebridge conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Wadebridge.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we use their preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Wadebridge

It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Wadebridge conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
