If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Blythe Bridge what would it be?

It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Blythe Bridge conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

We are buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Blythe Bridge. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include investigations to see if these alterations are prohibited?

Your conveyancer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Blythe Bridge will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of works or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

My wife and I are intent on selling our property in Blythe Bridge and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Blythe Bridge lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Blythe Bridge. Having lived in Blythe Bridge for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 illness)

I am buying my first flat in Blythe Bridge with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would affect my loan with Chelsea Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

As co-executor for the will of my grandmother I am disposing of a house in Swansea but live in Blythe Bridge. My solicitor (approximately 260 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Blythe Bridge who can attest this legal document for me?

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Blythe Bridge based

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Blythe Bridge?

Conveyancing - in Blythe Bridge or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects before you move in.
