Why would I use a Ashtead conveyancing practice given that national alternatives are so much cheaper?
By all means make sure that you compare conveyancing costs in Ashtead and you should seek a reasonable estimate but don’t waste your energy scouring the internet for the cheapest Ashtead conveyancer. Locating the right conveyancer can be the difference between a smooth and a stressful house move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert guidance from an experienced solicitor. An e-mail can never replace a phone call and can never replicate a face to face meeting. The firms that we work with will allocate you a qualified and trusted conveyancing solicitor who can deal with your conveyancing from start to finish, providing a level of continuity that you are unlikely to received from an web based conveyancer. Our lawyers will update you as to any developments making sure that you are regularly updated. If you ever need to phone the office you will be sure who you need to speak to and they will ensure you are kept fully informed.

I am selling our home in Ashtead and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Ashtead lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Ashtead. We have lived in Ashtead for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Ashtead differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ashtead approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Ashtead typically purchase 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 Ashtead or who has acted in the same development.
