Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Arnold

My wife and I are planning to acquire a flat in Arnold and have appointed a Arnold conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. Accord Mortgages Ltd have this evening contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Arnold lawyer is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is usual for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Arnold solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you have another set of people involved.

I am buying a house without a mortgage in Arnold. I have lived for the last 20 years in Arnold. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Arnold conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it will be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still reveal negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Arnold will be able to give you some practical advice in this regard.

What will a local search tell me about the property I am buying in Arnold?

Arnold conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations for example PSG The local search plays an important part in most Arnold conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search will supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic headings.

How does conveyancing in Arnold differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Arnold contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Arnold tend to purchase the site, 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 Arnold or who has acted in the same development.
