We instructed a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Birstall recently. Upon checking the Ts and Cs I noteI am on the hook for fees even if the movedoes not proceed. Would I be best advised to choose a web based conveyancing company promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Birstall?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the conveyances that do not proceed. Also remember that these promotions rarely cover outlay for example Birstall conveyancing search charges.
We are a couple about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Birstall. We have hit a snag. Our loan offer with Virgin Money expires on 5/1/2027 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 7/1/2027. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The best person to deal with your question is your lawyer who will hopefully calculate whether he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage company, vendor’s lawyers, selling agents or indeed all parties based on the history of your house move as of today.
At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Birstall and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Birstall you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Birstall)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Birstall and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Birstall conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Birstall. We have lived in Birstall for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 illness)
