Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Blackfen

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Blackfen is more expensive?

Blackfen leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving relevant notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the primary cause of hinderance in Blackfen house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Blackfen.

How does conveyancing in Blackfen differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Blackfen come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Blackfen tend to 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Blackfen or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Blackfen ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on such a premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Blackfen. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Blackfen to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

I'm converting the mortgage on my existing property to a buy to let mortgage with Barnsley Building Society and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on a second property. The neighborhood we are looking at is Blackfen. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and tie in the conveyances?

Do use our search tool on this page to be sure that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panels. On the basis that they are your conveyancer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should talk with you solicitor and specify your desired outcome and needs.

Are the Blackfen conveyancing lawyers identified as being on the bank conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by the lender?

Blackfen firms and firms carrying out conveyancing in Blackfen themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the lender conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from the mortgage company directly.
