Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Stoke Newington who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. I am now being charged double. Better the devil I know or should I try and find an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little overpriced.Where you are prepared to expend time scrutinising prices you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were satisfied with the legal work the firm provided you maylive to regret choosing an an unknown conveyancer. Don't forget to check that the solicitor can also act for The Mortgage Works.

What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Stoke Newington?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Stoke Newington and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, selling agent and even potentially the lender. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Stoke Newington should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
Taking into account that I will soon spend £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Stoke Newington I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding theconveyancing in advance of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
