‘How long will it take?” is usually one of the first questions people ask their Solicitors in connection with Conveyancing in Leicester. Most want their purchase or sale to be completed as quickly as possible, but they expect Property Lawyers to take much longer than they would like. Mr S was therefore absolutely delighted when Conveyancing Solicitor Laura Gill was able to complete this Conveyancing in Leicester for him in a little more than four weeks.
Mr S had asked for a quote for just after Christmas 2009. He had found a house to buy in Wigston Lane, Aylestone, Leicester LE2 and when he asked for an estimate of the time it would take to complete the transaction. He was concerned that as many people had been away until after the new year holiday there would be some delays.
Laura confirmed that the normal period was 6 to 8 weeks, although that was dependant on how quickly the sellers and their lawyers proceeded. She added that she would try to do everything as fast as possible, as she did for all her clients.
It did take a few days for the sales details to come through from the vendors’ agents, but they were soon received, together with the contract and copy title from Conveyancing Solicitors Lawson & Thompson of Bedlington. The freehold title was registered at the land registry, and they had quickly been able to download a copy from the registry’s e-portal.
Laura was quickly able to check that the title was all in order, and requested local searches from Leicester City Council, New Walk Centre A9, Welford Place, Leicester LE1 6ZG, together with drainage and water enquiries to Severn-Trent water.
The replies to these last enquiries indicated that there was a main sewer running through the rear garden. Laura had to ask for confirmation that the sellers had not built anything over this, as their replies to the standard information questionnaire stated that there was a rear extension.
Once Laura had received confirmation that nothing had been built over the pipe she was able to complete the certificate of title for the client’s mortgage lender, and agree an exchange of contracts with completion taking place early in February. Mr S was extremely pleased that Laura had been able to bring his Conveyancing in Leicester to such a quick conclusion, and was also grateful that the sellers and their legal team had co-operated in achieving this result.
