Property Solicitors near me
Before the internet finding conveyancing solicitors near me would have meant to consult your local phone book or just to take a walk down your local high street to find your conveyancer near me.Before modern ID checking processes your local conveyancing solicitors would need to meet with you to confirm who you were as part of their money laundering and 'Know Your Client' checks. Solicitors previously used to use this time to talk through the transaction with you in person - a part of the service that was reflected within their conveyancing solicitors fees. Nowadays, the legal process can be completed without face to face meetings, using online ID checks and new ID process.
Old School?
We would argue that modern electronic checking procedures are more rigorous and reliable and certainly faster. Although local knowledge becomes critical when choosing your RICS surveyor for a home buyers survey, your solicitor in all cases, whether they're a 'conveyancing solicitor near me' or based 200 miles away will carry out their work by processing documents and forms, virtually all of which can be obtained and/or transmitted electronically.
There is no need for them to be based locally and you'll usually find that conveyancer near me will charge extra for business conducted 'in person' - such as ID checking - and that their time is better spent focusing on the paperwork. We welcome queries from our clients and act as the vital link between you and your solicitor which means you're kept in the loop and your solicitor is fully engaged in getting your move completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.

1. Get a mortgage in principle
Know what you can afford to save wasting time on any false-starts.2. Instruct your conveyancing solicitor before you make your offer
Waiting till after your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. Using an online service cuts down on snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
As soon as your offer is accepted, you can submit your application. An independent broker can help speed this along.4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.5. Get your building insurance ready

Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
Middlesex is a county located in the south east of England, however many parts of Middlesex are now commonly known as part of Greater London, with small sections in neighbouring counties. Strictly speaking, Middlesex as a concept is only kept in existence by many people continuing to name it as a county on postal addresses and other contributors, such as Middlesex County Cricket Club, whose home ground is at Lord's in St John's Wood, just outside Central London. It is still loved despite it not having any form of administrative function etc.
People hearing about Middlesex assume it was/is a large county because of the amount of Greater London territory (West and North London and Westminster, with the Thames as its southern boundary) which lies within its borders. It is actually the second smallest county in the UK. Middlesex was established in the Anglo-Saxon system from the territory of the Middle Saxons. The largely low-lying county's soil is dominated by clay in its north and alluvium on gravel in its south.
Middlesex contains locations as diverse as Teddington (where the tidal Thames normally finishes), Enfield, Notting Hill, Ickenham, Ealing (where the famous film studios which produced so much early film comedy still exist), Hampstead and Southall.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Hayes Conveyancing Solicitor fees vary between online conveyancing solicitors, high street conveyancers or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.

For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).

Do you need to have a survey?
When you buy a property with a mortgage, you have to book and pay for your lender's mortgage valuation (click to find out more). This is:
- Not the same as a RICS Home Buyers Survey
- Done on behalf of the lender, not you, and is about ensuring the property value is in keeping with your proposed mortgage sum
- Only cursory about checking for defects.
We advise every home buyer to get a RICS home buyers survey when they're looking to buy a property. When you're thinking of committing to spending what is normally at least hundreds of £1,000s on a property, it surely makes sense to have it checked for potential defects by an expert who is purely working for your best interests.
If your surveyor has suspicions of defects such as subsidence, they note them in a report and this can be used to bargain with the vendor for contributions towards remedy which may mean a lower selling price or you may even decide to pull out entirely.
Additionally, if your surveyor fails to spot a defect which subsequently becomes apparent and costly to remedy, they are answerable to claims and all carry indemnity insurance covering the full value of the property in question.
