Q.

For a fast completion on the purchase of a £549,000 residence, what can we do to speed up the transaction?

A.

Finding a communicative conveyancer is crucial to fast conveyancing. When finding a suitable a conveyancer, : Do they work on a 'no sale, no fee' basis? Was there a delay delivering a quote? Which communication methods do they use? Days can be wasted waiting for letters in the post which could be emailed or faxed.

Q.

Is the SDLT fee a fee or a disbursement?

A.

All fees and disbursements should be identified on the quote for your conveyancing. This charge is a fee not a disbursement, and should be included in your conveyancing quote.
