Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Biddulph

Can conveyancing in Biddulph to be completed in 10 days?

Where the seller is applying pressure to complete we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and intelligence. It is possible that they may have handled previoushouses in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Biddulph conveyancing solicitor. In addition, double check that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is said that 18% of Biddulph conveyancing transactions are suspended or jeopardised after finding out that a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being delayed by an average of three weeks. It is understood that this issue affects in the region of 100,000 home moves every year. Almost all Biddulph conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

We note that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Biddulph?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Biddulph.

My partner and I are selling our property in Biddulph and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Biddulph lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Biddulph. Having lived in Biddulph for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Biddulph 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be recorded by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Biddulph I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Biddulph suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Biddulph

It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Biddulph conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
