Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Croxley Green?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Croxley Green your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches.

Just bought a semi-detached house in Croxley Green , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Croxley Green conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Croxley Green registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
My husband and I have recently had an offer accepted on our 1st house in Croxley Green, and need to get solicitors lined up. We have utilised the different comparison based websites and the results are from all over the country. Is it important to have a Croxley Green solicitor local to our prospective property? I am happy to do everything electronically, but I am thinking at some stage we may be required to physically go into the solicitor's office to sign papers?
Generally there is no need to attend the office of your lawyer, they can post any relevant contracts to you, which you can sign and send back. Many buyers and sellers prefer to use a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means a prerequisite for conveyancing in Croxley Green.
