Completed the sale of my flat in Basildon last January but the buyer keeps texting me complaining that his conveyancer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your lawyer should send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also confirm that the home loan has been paid off to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Basildon.
I am selling my flat in Basildon. Does my conveyancer have to be required to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
How does conveyancing in Basildon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Basildon approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Basildon tend to 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 property lawyers 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 Basildon or who has acted in the same development.
What does commercial conveyancing in Basildon cover?
