I am looking for value for money conveyancer. Do I opt for an internet conveyancer as opposed to a local Barons Court conveyancing solicitor?
On the whole conveyancing solicitors in your neck of the woods will benefit from strong relationships with your local authority, which can help with the Barons Court conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will inevitably need. It can only be a plus if they enjoy existing relationships with the Local Land Registry Office your area Barons Court, other property lawyers in the neighbourhood and Barons Court Estate Agents.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Barons Court?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers where you take up the "fee-free" deal. Call the mortgage company to determine if they offer you a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Barons Court.
Me and my partner are purchasing a flat in Barons Court. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we will need to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
