Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to locate all the suitable paperwork so you may buy or sell your house without any difficulty. If duplicates can’t be found, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.

Is it best to appoint a Epsom and Ewell conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? An old friend can handle the legal work however her office is 400kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Epsom and Ewell conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Epsom and Ewell know how is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Epsom and Ewell conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Epsom and Ewell based.
