I chose a high street firm for our conveyancing in Blackfen today. Going through the Terms and Conditions I seewe are liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and choose an on-line firm advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Blackfen?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to offset the conveyances that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these promotions generally do not protect you from outlay for instance Blackfen conveyancing search expenses.
We are downsizing from our home in Blackfen and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Blackfen conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Blackfen. We have lived in Blackfen for six years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Blackfen differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Blackfen come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Blackfen typically acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Blackfen or who has acted in the same development.
