Willretaining a Bewdley conveyancing lawyer make the legal process smoother?
On the whole conveyancing solicitors in your location will benefit from good relationships with your local authority, which can assist with the Bewdley conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will need to carry out. It also helps if they have existing relationships with the Land Registry overseeing your area Bewdley, other lawyers in the location and Bewdley selling agents.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Bewdley?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Bewdley your lawyer will request that you put them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is as part of the total price then this will be required immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is needed will be payable shortly before completion.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Bewdley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Bewdley conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bewdley. We have lived in Bewdley for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Bewdley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bewdley approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Bewdley typically acquire 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 Bewdley or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Bewdley is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Bewdley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bewdley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bewdley may determine 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 residence.
