LEGAL EAGLE: Is legal help available during lockdown on property issues?

Guidance changes every day and we are alert to the changes. Some people feel comfortable committing themselves to buying a house or selling a house during this difficult time and we can accommodate that. Some people want us to wait until the peak of the crisis is over and then be able to move quickly. We can accommodate that. We approach each case on a case-by-case basis.

The important thing during this time is to realise that this crisis is temporary and things will get back to normal, and when they do, we and our clients need to be in a position to react quickly.

You will have heard that some solicitors are closed and obviously this will have an effect on some transactions. You will also have heard that estate agents offices are closed but most are working remotely.

Thankfully, Tilly Bailey & Irvine Solicitors can help you remotely via telephone or online.

Online Lawyers

The need to be able to complete matters remotely rather than face-to-face has recently been compounded by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

TBI was recently top of the national rankings for its speed in getting conveyancing matters completed. Not only that, but it backs up this by enjoying the shortest average number of days to exchange, six less than its nearest rival.

Exchanging paper documents and information can be the time waster. Meeting up in between a busy life, juggling work and timing face-to-face meetings can delay the process to a point of frustration, which is why a remote, paperless system is becoming the key strength of the Teesside-based TBI conveyancing team.

This system enables all parties to be kept up to date and fully involved in their conveyancing transactions. We constantly look to improve our operating systems and are committed to training all of our staff and apprentices in the latest conveyancing practices to ensure we provide an efficient and high-quality service.

Fastest Conveyancers in the region

On occasions, the conveyancers at TBI have taken up to 60 referrals and completions in a single day, while one of these took a mere 24 hours to complete.

It is very rare that you see delay when electronic processes allow for these tasks to be completed anywhere, and at any time, and that is the modern move that TBI have put in place.

Call us via 01429 350062 or discuss matters with online conveyancing solicitors via email or our website. Please do not visit our Hartlepool, Stockton, Wynyard or Barnard Castle offices in respect to social distancing.
