Journey to exchange and completion
As you will see in the video above there are a number of areas that must be satisfied before we can exchange. There will be quieter periods while we are busy acquiring the relevant information, but we will send SMS updates to mark key stages of the transaction.
There are many parties involved in your purchase such as housing associations, other solicitors and mortgage lenders, and we ensure that excellent levels of communication are maintained with all of these, so we are all working together towards the same shared goal of exchange and completion.
Charity Lotto
As well as supporting a number of local charities, we also support Mental Health UK (Registered Charity no 1170815) through the Conveyancing Foundation’s Charity Lotto.
All our conveyancing clients have the opportunity to enter into the lotto which is designed to generate revenue for charity and to offer you the opportunity to win £500.00 towards the cost of your conveyancing.
If you choose to enter the lotto, we will add a £10.00 cost to the sums we collect from you on completion of your transaction (this will be shown on your Completion Statement). £1 of your donation will go towards the lotto and the remaining £9 (plus Gift Aid) will go to the Mental Health UK charity.
We hope you will join us in helping this beneficial cause.
