Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Basingstoke

At long last a mortgage agreement from Nationwide for the remortgage of my 3 bedroom flat is expected any day now. Are you able to recommend a low cost conveyancing law firm in Basingstoke?

This site is not designed to aid those in their quest for cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Basingstoke. Our intention is to offer affordable conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint companies enticing you with low cost conveyancing in Basingstoke. In your best case scenario, in choosing a lawyer for low cost conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst you will end up being stung for additional fees and still not receive the service required.

At what point does exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Basingstoke and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?

If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Basingstoke you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Basingstoke)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are a common reason for stalling in Basingstoke house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Basingstoke.

How does conveyancing in Basingstoke differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Basingstoke come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Basingstoke 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 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 Basingstoke or who has acted in the same development.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Basingstoke and how can you help?

The 1954 Act provides a safeguard to commercial lessees, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Basingstoke is one of our numerous locations in which the firms we work with have offices

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in Basingstoke. I have stumble across a site which appears to be the perfect answer If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?
