Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aldershot

I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my rented flat in Aldershot by 20/8/2025. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Can I complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?

The normal practice is not to give notice for your letting unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your conveyancer and ask them to they seek the assistance the sellers lawyers, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will aim to achieve

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Aldershot? What am I being asked for?

You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Aldershot. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing deal if you have not handing over proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a council tax bill. Please note that if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not satisfactory without the other.

Evidence of your source of money is necessary in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancing solicitor will need to have this information on file. Your Aldershot conveyancing practitioner will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any monies from you into their client account and they may also ask additional queries regarding the origin of monies.

The Aldershot conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Aldershot have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my family Aldershot lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What are my options?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Barclays conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.

How does conveyancing in Aldershot differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Aldershot approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Aldershot tend to purchase 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 Aldershot or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Aldershot before retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Aldershot. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Aldershot to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
