Is my relationship with the conveyancer over now?

Jami74

Received a letter today from the conveyancer saying that the property is now registered in my name with the land registry, we don't owe each other any money and my files will be stored for a number of years.

Is that it? Will I ever hear from them again? Or need to contact them for any reason?

Do you think you might ever sell the property?  If so, would you want to instruct the same conveyancer?

Probably will sell at some point. Is there any advantage to using the same one? They were very 'thorough', delaying the process by several weeks over something that was unimportant to me and would have made no difference to my choice to purchase either way.

Might have been unimportant to you at this stage, but if you had lenders involved, it may have been very important to them! Even if not, it’s funny how often people are adamant that something is entirely irrelevant until it comes back to bite them on the bum! (At which point of course it becomes all the solicitor’s fault!) 

it really is about time that people got over this idea that solicitors just delay things for fun - not least because allowing that they don’t get paid until completion, why on earth would they?!
