Conveyancing Solicitors in Croydon show the way to achieve fast Conveyancing

Croydon Conveyancer Gemma Farguson recently handled the purchase of a freehold semi on Courtlands Close, Croydon, CR2 for Mrs and Mrs C.

Immediately upon instruction, Gemma chased up and received details from Bairstow Eves of  9 Limpsfield Road, South Croydon, CR2 9LA. She contacted the Conveyancing Solicitors in Croydon acting for the sellers to make sure that they sent her the contract paperwork straight away. 

Time is often lost on house purchases because initial correspondence is incorrectly addressed, so Gemma knew that it helped to avoid delays by asking the other Conveyancing Solicitors in Croydon to send her everything by email or fax.

She also put in hand the Conveyancing search with Croydon Council at Taberner House, Park Lane, Croydon, CR9 3JS. This will show any conditional planning permissions, enforcement notices, tree preservation orders and various other notices, orders or agreements. 

These searches also provides answers to questions about highway status and proposals, planning history, building control history, notices, contaminated land and many other matters on which the council can supply information.

Prompt replies to local searches saves time

Not long ago these searches would have taken weeks to process, but Croydon Council can now turn them round in two to three days (or sooner if requested) and return the result via online. This means that Conveyancing Solicitors in Croydon can now provide much faster Conveyancing for their clients, as Solicitors could do little to influence the time required to provide, and then deliver local searches by post.

Conveyancing Solicitors in Croydon identify potential title issue

The surname of one of the sellers was not the same in the land registry title. Although the reason for this was probably that the sellers had bought the house before they were married, Gemma could not just assume that. She had to ask the vendors' Croydon Property Lawyers for a certified copy of their clients' marriage certificate as the land registry would require that as evidence of the change of name. 

On receipt of the clients' mortgage offer Gemma was soon able to get contracts exchanged with the vendors' Conveyancing Solicitors in Croydon, and an early completion date was agreed for the final handover. The buyers thanked Gemma for the way that she had kept them informed of the progress of their purchase.
