Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Anstey

I am about to complete buying a house in Anstey but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the vendor of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of a side agreement but TSB will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?

Any property lawyer being on the TSB approved list is duty bound to inform TSB of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the reduction to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Anstey.

I just bought a flat at auction in Anstey. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?

Given that you are now exchanged you now have to hire the services of a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. An auction property will have an associated legal pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the conveyancing papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You should pass this on to the solicitor instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

Intending to buy a house in Anstey. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Anstey lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

Our offer on a semi in Anstey has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Anstey. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Principality?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Anstey conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Principality and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Anstey and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Anstey conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Anstey. Having lived in Anstey for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I used Action Conveyancing several years past for my conveyancing in Anstey. I now require my papers however the law firm has closed. What do I do?

You should contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Anstey of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously instructed, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Anstey. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Anstey

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

Please set a few of distinct benefits to choosing a local solicitor in Anstey

Lots of house movers in Anstey prefer a nearby high street conveyancer so that they can visit just in case they have problems, and to sign mortgage deeds without using the post.

Some would suggest that there is a distinct benefit in opting for a conveyancing practitioner nearby to the property you are purchasing, due to the in-depth knowledge of the locality and possible local concerns - but this is debatable. Many conveyancers are now online and may be practically anywhere.
