Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Borrowash

We are purchasing a new build flat in Borrowash and my solicitor is telling me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and I don't want to delay deal. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Do lawyers ask for money on account for my conveyancing in Borrowash?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Borrowash your lawyer will request that you place them with funds to cover the search fees. Normally this is asked for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is payable against the total price then this should be asked for immediately prior to contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

What can a local search reveal about the property my wife and I purchasing in Borrowash?

Borrowash conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company such as Onsearch The local search plays a central part in many a Borrowash conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your new home. The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject areas.

How does conveyancing in Borrowash differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Borrowash approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Borrowash typically acquire the site, 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 Borrowash or who has acted in the same development.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Borrowash and how can you help?

The 1954 Act provides security of tenure to business leaseholders, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Borrowash is one of our many locations in which the firms we work with have offices

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Borrowash. I I would like to check if they are listed on the bank's conveyancing panel. Could you advise?

One option is to call the solicitor to enquire if they are on the bank's panel. If that does not help get in touch with us and we can make some checks for you. Should the firm not be on the lender panel we can certainly arrange a quality conveyancing solicitor in Borrowash on the approved list for your mortgage company.
