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?

Worcestershire is a county in the West Midlands, with Worcester being its county town and a cathedral city, containing the beautiful Worcester Cathedral. The county is mainly rural, containing the Malvern Hills, which border it to the west. The Malvern Hills have been classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The Worcestershire Beacon, which at 425m is the highest point in the county, lies in this range. Some parts of the county, to its north-east, are in the industrial area of the West Midlands. Major settlements include Kidderminster, Bromsgrove and Redditch (all satellite towns of Birmingham). Adjoining counties include West Midlands, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Staffordshire and Shropshire. Worcester is the largest populated urban area and contains the county's one university, the University of Worcester. It is also the main transport hub, offering direct railway services from Worcester Shrub Hill to London Paddington and many other major conurbations.
There are 3 motorways running through the county: the M5, the M42 and M50. Two major rivers flow through the county, the Severn and the Avon. Arguably Kidderminster Harriers is the county's most famous football team – it is non-league and one of the oldest in the country – and Worcestershire County Cricket Club's (WCCC) home ground is at New Road in Worcester. WCCC last won the county championship in the late 80s in the era of Ian Botham, Graham Dilley and Graeme Hick.
The village of Broadheath, about 6 miles (10 km) northwest of the city of Worcester, is the birthplace of the composer Edward Elgar. Worcester’s Berrow’s Journal has a claim to be the oldest surviving newspaper in the world, publishing started in 1709.

How long does completion take after funds are released?
Generally speaking once the seller has received the balance of the selling price from the buyer on the day of completion, they will release the keys straight away so the buyer can move into the vacated home.
The speed of the modern banking system means that once the purchaser's solicitor has released the funds, they are more or less instantaneously transferred to the seller's solicitor's account, however the contract states that the seller has until 1pm (sometimes 2pm) to complete and release the keys to you.
If you're a first time buyer, you can normally expect to collect your keys anywhere from 9.30am to 11.30am as you are the first in the chain.
