Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Blakelaw

We chose a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Blakelaw today. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am responsible for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or appoint an internet firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Blakelaw?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to neutralise those cases that fail to complete. Dont forget that these schemes generally do not protect you from expenses by way of example Blakelaw conveyancing search fees.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Blakelaw is more expensive?

Blakelaw leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving appropriate 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.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Blakelaw?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Blakelaw. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

How does conveyancing in Blakelaw differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Blakelaw approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Blakelaw typically buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Blakelaw or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Blakelaw is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Blakelaw are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Blakelaw you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Blakelaw may determine 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 premises.

We are first time buyers just having agreed a price on a property in Blakelaw, and need to get solicitors lined up. I have utilised the various rating based websites and the quotes are from all across the country. Is it advisable to have a Blakelaw solicitor local to our prospective new home? We are willing to do everything over the web, but I am thinking at some stage we may need to attend the lawyer's office to sign documents?

The solicitor does not need to be in Blakelaw, but opting for local means that you have the option to go in if needed, for instance, if a signature is needed urgently. Also, a Blakelaw solicitor is likely to be familiar with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local lawyer) with them, which will help keep things moving faster.
