Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wimborne

A mortgage agreement from Santander for the refinancing of my single room apartment is expected imminently. Are you able to put forward a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Wimborne?

You are on the wrong site if you are seeking a cheap conveyancing solicitors in Wimborne. Our aim is to provide excellent value conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be fooled by companies teasing you with £99 conveyancing in Wimborne. The optimum result, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you paying a lot in extras and still not receive the service required.

IfI was to acquire a simple residential housein Wimborne for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Wimborne?

The only saving you would achieve is the Wimborne conveyancing searches. The property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your vendors solicitor, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Skipton Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wimborne?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I have been told by my solicitor that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Wimborne?

The right level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

My partner and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Lloyds as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Wimborne. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Wimborne solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Lloyds don't usually appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds list.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Aldermore are being a right pain. The Wimborne solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

How does conveyancing in Wimborne differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wimborne come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Wimborne tend to acquire the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wimborne or who has acted in the same development.
