Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Arnside

I am buying a property without a mortgage in Arnside. I have been residing for the last Seventeen years in Arnside. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Arnside conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where premises with day to day issues can still reveal detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Arnside should provide you some practical advice concerning this.

Completed the sale of my flat in Arnside last March but the buyer keeps whats apping me to moan that his solicitor needs to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?

Following your disposal your conveyancer is duty bound to deliver the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your solicitor should also confirm that the home loan has been discharged to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Arnside.

My property lawyer in Arnside has never been on on the The Mortgage Works Approved Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the The Mortgage Works list of approved lawyers?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Carry on with your existing Arnside lawyers but The Mortgage Works will need to retain a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall legal fees and cause delays.
  2. Choose an alternative practitioner to to deal with the purchase, not forgetting to check they are The Mortgage Works approved.
  3. Persuade your The Mortgage Works based solicitor to seek to join the The Mortgage Works panel

How does conveyancing in Arnside differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Arnside contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Arnside 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 Arnside or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Arnside ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not give a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Arnside. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Arnside to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

How do I use the search tool to select a conveyancing solicitor in Arnside on the approved list for my lender?

1st select a mortgage company such as HSBC Bank, Bank of Scotland or Clydesdale then type in your preferred area e.g. Arnside. Conveyancing organisations in Arnside and beyond will then be listed.
