Finally the sale completed on my house in Alvaston last November yet the purchaser is SMS messaging me complaining that his lawyer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
After completion of your disposal your solicitor is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Where relevant, your lawyer must also confirm that the home loan has been discharged to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Alvaston.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Alvaston?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Alvaston.

How does conveyancing in Alvaston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Alvaston contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Alvaston usually 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 Alvaston or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Alvaston
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Alvaston conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
