Having sold my house in Anstey last January yet the purchaser is calling daily to moan that his lawyer needs to hear from mylawyer. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your house sale your lawyer is duty bound to deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. If applicable, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Anstey.
My property lawyer in Anstey is not listed on the Aldermore Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Aldermore approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Anstey solicitors but Aldermore will need to use a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing fees and result in delays.
- Get an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Persuade your lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Aldermore conveyancing panel
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of hinderance in Anstey house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Anstey.
How does conveyancing in Anstey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Anstey contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Anstey typically 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 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 Anstey or who has acted in the same development.
I was recommended by a few estate agents in Anstey to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site rather than a competitor’s?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
