Why buy a home in Market Harborough?
Market Harborough is a market town in Leicestershire and the area used to be part of the Rockingham Forest, a former royal hunting ground in medieval times used by monarchs starting with William I. It has a history stretching back to Saxon times and was prominent in the English Civil War as the headquarters of the King's Army.
There was a considerable increase in building homes with bricks in the 18th century – they were frequently previously built of mud, thatch and timber – and around this time the town became a staging point for coach travel between London, the Midlands and the North West. Industry considerably developed in the 19th century and the arrival of the Leicester-Rugby railway in 1840 (even though the town itself didn't get a station until 1850) spelt the end of the coach travel industry. The centre of the town has been classified as a conservation area.
Landmarks and attractions include the Old Grammar School, built in 1614, St Dionysius Church, which dates back to the 14th century, The Old Town Hall, The Old Fire Station, Harborough Museum, the Foxton Locks (a sequence of 10 canal locks in two staircases each of 5 locks) and Gartree Prison.

Should I use a Conveyancer or Conveyancing Solicitor near me?
Solicitors are usually more expensive that a conveyancer, which is fine as long as they specialise in property transactions. It can be beneficial to choose a solicitor in case of any complex legal complications with your transaction, but the best of both is to instruct a conveyancing solicitor who employs some other conveyancing professionals to complete the simpler parts of the work under their supervision, at a lower rate.Read our full guide: Licensed Conveyancer or Solicitor - Who should you choose to do your conveyancing?

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
You'll need insurance from the exchange so research & compare insurance quotes, once your solicitor is instructed.6. Paperwork (When selling)
Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
Leicestershire is located in the East Midlands and Leicester is its traditional administrative centre, even though the City of Leicester itself is a unitary authority and administered separately. The county is bordered by Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire. Other than Leicester, other large towns in the county include Loughborough, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Coalville, Hinckley, Market Harborough and Melton Mowbray.
Leicestershire has 2 motorways running through it - the M1 and the M69. The county has 3 universities: the University of Leicester, Loughborough University and the De Montfort University.
The county hosts the East Midlands Airport, a hub airport for domestic, EU and international flights, which is located at Castle Donington. Castle Donington is also the location of Donington Park, which has many uses, ranging from motor racing to hosting large music concerts and festivals.
Food associated with the county includes Red Leicester, Long Clawson and Stilton cheeses and pork pies, particularly Melton Mowbray Pork Pies. As a random fact, the original Hansom Cab - i.e. with a mechanical meter - was invented in Hinckley, in the county (by Joseph Hansom) in 1834 and Thomas Cook organised the world's first package tour from Leicester in 1841.
Worth a paragraph on its own, the phrase 'painting the town red' originates from revelry which accompanied some loutish aristocratic hunters celebrating a good day's hunting in 1837 in Melton Mowbray. They daubed red paint on houses, pub signs and a toll bar and apparently, some of the paint still remains on some of the older houses in the High Street.

Is it better if your solicitor is local?
Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, there is nothing particular to be gained by your solicitor being 'local' to you.As a buyer, your solicitor has to examine property searches, look at your home buyers survey (if you've had one done), ensure your mortgage is in place, make enquiries about the title and protect your legal interests when buying.
As a seller, your solicitor has to prepare your contract of sale and pass on all necessary documentation tied to the sale and generally look after your interests as a seller.
None of those mentioned above jobs require your solicitor to be local and the checking of your ID which happens at the start of the process can be carried out electronically highly efficiently.
If you were to visit your solicitor in person to prove your ID etc., you might in theory have to pay for this by the hour (and pay for travel, take time off work etc.).
In contrast, if as a buyer you choose to book a home buyers survey, it is essential to employ a RICS surveyor who knows the locale as they will have seen possibly hundreds of properties in and around the area and will benefit from knowledge of things like the type and style of housing, and possible defects to look for.
