My partner and I are buying our first property. Our property lawyer has messagedto check if we wish to order extra conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's appropriate for conveyancing in Blandford Forum
The type of Blandford Forum conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the area and risks, your general appetite to risk. What matters is that you properly comprehend what information the searches could supply. You may then make a decision if you personally think you need that search. Should you be uncertain, ask your lawyer to advise.
Having sold my house in Blandford Forum last June but our buyer keeps whats apping daily to say her conveyancer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your house sale your solicitor is obliged to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. If applicable, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Blandford Forum.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would much rather appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Blandford Forum?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers where you accept the "fee-free" deal. Call the lender to ask if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Blandford Forum.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Blandford Forum is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Blandford Forum are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Blandford Forum you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Blandford Forum may ascertain 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.
I was recommended by a number of estate agents in Blandford Forum to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above a competitor’s?
We don’t give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
As co-executor for the will of my father I am disposing of a house in Neath but I am based in Blandford Forum. My solicitor (approximately 260 miles awayhas requested that I execute a stat dec prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Blandford Forum who can witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are located in Blandford Forum
