I instructed a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Anston recently. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am liable for costs even if the movefalls through. Should I go with them or appoint an internet conveyancing company advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Anston?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset the cases that fail to complete. Dont forget that these arrangements generally do not cover outlay such your Anston conveyancing search fees.
My fiance and I are refinancing our maisonette in Anston with Santander. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the Santander conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 3 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Santander. This is solely used to protect Santander if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Santander had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

I got the keys to my flat on 3 September and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Anston expressed confidence that it will be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Anston uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Anston registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Anston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Anston contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Anston typically purchase the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Anston or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Anston is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Anston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Anston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Anston may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
