Our aim is to provide cost effective conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest.

Me and my partner are buying a property in Harwell. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to put our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

We were going to get a DIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Harwell solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Harwell solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
RBS have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Harwell has been accepted, what happens next?
Your estate agent will need to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Call up RBS or the broker and complete any appropriate forms. RBS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. RBS will issue the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Harwell.
What can a local search tell me regarding the property we're purchasing in Harwell?

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Harwell. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
