Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stow on the Wold

I am hoping to complete my purchase in Stow on the Wold next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the bank. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?

All property lawyers on acting for banks would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else.

What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Stow on the Wold?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Stow on the Wold and elsewhere in Gloucestershire is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, estate agent and sometimes your bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Stow on the Wold is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

On occasion a potential adversary may try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is wrong. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Stow on the Wold

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Stow on the Wold conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

A colleague advised me that in buying a property in Stow on the Wold there may be various restrictions prohibiting external alterations to a property. Is this right?

We are aware of a number of properties in Stow on the Wold which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Stow on the Wold should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Stow on the Wold bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Stow on the Wold conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the solicitor is on the lender panel, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

How does conveyancing in Stow on the Wold differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Stow on the Wold approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Stow on the Wold typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Stow on the Wold or who has acted in the same development.

I'm remortgaging my current house to a buy to let loan with Chelsea Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on further house. The area we are talking about is Stow on the Wold. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two lenders and tie in the conveyances?

My husband and I have had DIP from Skipton Building Society who have advised we could borrow up to £218k. At what point do I need to instruct a practitioner for conveyancing? Stow on the Wold is where we are purchasing.

You can instruct a conveyancer now requesting that they open a file on your behalf. This will trigger: 1) the selling agent to issue a Sales Memorandum to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s lawyer to submit the draft contract. That being said, do not ask your conveyancing practitioner to start searches until you receive your valuation report via Skipton Building Society and you are willing to move forward.
