County Durham Properties Conveyancing Services offer a new and much improved service to its clients.
Many recent surveys have revealed that moving home is one of the most stressful times in our lives and with so much to organise this is hardly surprising.  You will need a good lawyer, a survey and perhaps a mortgage and other related services. Finding companies to supply you with these essentials may not be a problem – but getting them to work together is often an entirely different matter.
 
OUR NEW APPROACH
 
Lawyers are often perceived as stuffy and old fashioned.  Not so at County Durham Properties Conveyancing Services.  We believe that being friendly and approachable is just as important as being competent and professional. By combining good knowledge and practice with modern and caring customer service, using up to date technology, County Durham Properties Conveyancing Services will ensure the smoothest of house moves taking the stress out of moving home. To enable you to budget precisely, County Durham Properties Conveyancing Services will, at the outset, provide you with an accurate estimate of legal fees including all disbursements, Stamp Duty Land Tax and Land Registry fees.  These fees and the answer to any initial queries will be confirmed in writing by our nominated conveyancers – Swinburne & Jackson LLP, a firm of solicitors with over 200 years experience in dealing with residential property.
 
SALES
 
When selling your home County Durham Properties Conveyancing services will prepare and provide the required Home Information Pack (HIP). Using direct computer access with the Land Registry the legal documents required for selling your home can be obtained within minutes.  You will be asked to complete some basic information forms and, as soon as a buyer is found, contracts will be submitted.  County Durham Properties Conveyancing Services, being able to work in parallel with the sales agency, can then endeavour to ensure that your anticipated timescales are met for exchange of contracts and a final moving date. As a matter of course, we will ensure that any mortgages are paid off and any monies due can be electronically transferred to your bank account.
 
PURCHASES
 
As soon as you have found a home to buy, whether or not through County Durham Properties, our Conveyancing Service will expedite all relevant Searches which are usually available within 7-10 days of request.  Legal title will be checked by the relevant conveyancing team, who will ensure that:

• All rights required by the property exist
• All relevant planning permissions and building control regulations have been granted and complied with
• There are no breaches of restrictive covenants.

Your offer of mortgage will be checked and you will have a face to face meeting so that all matters are fully explained.  County Durham Properties Conveyancing Services will then ensure a trouble free transition to exchange of contracts and a fixed moving date.
 
COMMUNICATION
 
County Durham Properties Conveyancing Services work as a team and there will always be a member of the team available to answer queries.  We will e-mail a weekly report to you to keep you advised as to progress and similarly report weekly to the sales team.  By bringing together professionals who are committed to providing you with a first class service we will ensure that moving home is much less stressful than you thought at the outset.
