We chose a Arkley based solicitor for my conveyancing in Arkley recently. Upon checking the Terms it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or choose a web based firm promising no move no charge conveyancing in Arkley?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to offset the transactions that fail to complete. Dont forget that these arrangements tend not to protect you from expenses e.g. Arkley conveyancing search fees.
Due to move into my new home in Arkley next Monday. My lawyer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for mortgage companies would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Arkley.

How does conveyancing in Arkley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Arkley come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Arkley typically buy 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 Arkley or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Arkley is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Arkley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Arkley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Arkley may ascertain 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.
I was pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Arkley to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t offer any referral fee for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
