*Note we are a sole practitioner practice and as such are not on all lenders panels and therefore may not be able to act on these matters. In the case of a purchase the work for the lender can usually be carried out by another local firm leaving ourselves to act for the buyer.
General information
We are a small sole practitioner practice offering a personal service. We will usually try to return calls on the day they are received. Day to day control of the matter will be handed by Sally Elliott an Associate legal Executive with 20 years experience in conveyancing and who works exclusively in this area of the law. Overall conduct of the matter will be in the hands of our sole principal David A Chapple LLb.
We are often asked how long a transaction may take to complete. In the case of Assents and Transfer of Equity approximately 3-4 weeks (provided in the case of the Assent a Grant of Probate is in place). Sale and purchases are difficult to estimate until full information regarding the chain is available. Usually 10-12 weeks when the chain is in place is quite normal.
We do not charge any extra fees for expediting a sale or purchase nor as shown above do we charge any administration fees for obtaining redemption figures, redeeming the charge, accounting to clients or sending funds by same day payment we simply pass on the fee the bank charge us on to our clients.
