Trusted Conveyancing Partner

Yes. Nova Conveyancing is a trading name of Connect2Law Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC), number 2774. If you are unhappy with our service you can use our complaints procedure, and if it is not resolved within 28 days you can take the complaint to the Legal Ombudsman.

A branch or brokerage adds Nova Conveyancing to its conveyancing panel, and referred clients can then choose to instruct us for their move or remortgage. We set the team up on our referral platform with product training, conveyancing sales training, and a portal walkthrough, and both sides appoint relationship managers for day-to-day contact. The arrangement is non-exclusive, so Nova sits alongside the other firms on the panel, and it runs for a calendar year and renews annually.

Progress is visible through the Nova portal, and our case handlers update clients and referrers regularly by phone or in writing, so sales progressors are not left chasing news. Each referring partner has a named relationship manager as a focal point for decisions and escalations, and we explain the reason for any delay as it arises. For sellers who take Sale Ready, we also start ID checks, protocol forms, and title documents before the property is marketed or under offer.

Nova Conveyancing handles the legal work while the broker provides mortgage advice, as we do not advise on the suitability of a client’s mortgage. We keep the broker informed on case progress and keep lender requirements and mortgage offer dates in view throughout, because a conveyancing delay can put an offer at risk. This applies to purchases and remortgages alike.

For agency groups, the main tests are regulation, consistency, and visibility. Check that the firm is regulated by the CLC or the SRA, and ask how service stays consistent across branches, how cases are tracked, who your teams speak to each day, and how timescales and referral arrangements are explained to clients. Nova Conveyancing works to those points, with a named relationship manager for each referring partner, online case tracking, and clear terms on what affects timescales.

It depends on the chain, the type of property, and how quickly everyone involved responds, so no two cases are the same. Other solicitors, lenders, landlords, and search providers all affect the timeline, and we do not guarantee an exchange or completion date. On both our services we collect the documents a case needs early and keep you updated throughout. Nova Ascent is our standard service, and Nova Rocket is our fast-track option, with timeframes starting from 7 weeks to exchange.

Nova Ascent is our standard conveyancing service, and Nova Rocket is an optional upgrade for clients who want a targeted, faster timeline. With Nova Rocket, we set a target exchange date counted from the point your case is ready to start, and if we miss it, the Rocket upgrade fee is discounted for each week missed, up to the full upgrade fee. The guarantee is a discount on your fee, and we do not promise an exchange or completion date. Rocket does not apply to some case types, including new builds, lease extensions, and leasehold cases needing a deed of variation. If you are unsure which suits your case, ask your agent, your broker, or our team.

The cost of conveyancing with Nova Conveyancing depends on whether you are buying, selling, or remortgaging, and on the property itself. Your quote sets out our fee and the disbursements, which are third-party costs such as searches and Land Registry fees, with VAT added where it applies. The quote assumes a straightforward case, and if extra work turns out to be needed we tell you so you can see what it involves and what it will cost.

With Nova Ascent, if the transaction does not reach exchange of contracts, you pay no legal fee for the work done, but you remain responsible for the non-refundable file set-up fee and any disbursements already incurred.
