Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Blackfen

The sellers of the house we are purchasing have appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Blackfen who has suggested a preliminary contract with a down payment 10k. Are such agreements sensible?

This kind of arrangement isn't frequently used in Blackfen, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the seller has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered a big enough offer to do so because an aggrieved buyer with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be legally obliged to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the financial upside that your seller may secure by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally shameful the behaviour is.

I am buying a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Blackfen who is on the Aldermore conveyancing. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Aldermore in certain locations such as Blackfen. We dont recommend any particular firm.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Blackfen. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Blackfen?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Blackfen. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

A relative advised me that in buying a property in Blackfen there could be various restrictions preventing external alterations to a property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Blackfen which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Blackfen should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Blackfen. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £200. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require chancel insurance when buying a house in Blackfen? or Apparently there is an ancient law that could mean that house owners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Blackfen?

Unless a prior acquisition of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you could assume that conveyancing practitioners delivering conveyancing in Blackfen to continue to advocate a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Blackfen is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Blackfen are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Blackfen you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Blackfen may decide 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.

Your search tool is useful but there are many lawyers listed near Blackfen being on the lender conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the lender approved panel?

We are not in the business of recommending one firm above another as the right Blackfen conveyancing firm for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Blackfen knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
