Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bourne

I plan on acquiring a flat in Bourne. My property lawyer is not listed on the lender solicitor panel. Can I still retain my Bourne conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel?

One must use a conveyancer to complete the formalities when you take out a loan to buy your property. The solicitor will conduct all the essential due diligence on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. You could instruct a Bourne lawyer of your choice. However, where the solicitor selected is not on the lender solicitor panel supplemental charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they should do so.

Do I need to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Bourne so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.

These days approved lawyers for lenders carry out their communications via Royal Mail, e-mail or over the phone. This enables them to conduct the legal work for your home move no matter where you live in England or Wales. However you can see if you have the option of going to the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if needed.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for obstruction in Bourne conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Bourne.

I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Bourne for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Bourne conveyancing specialists.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Bourne is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Bourne are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bourne you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bourne 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 property.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Bourne

It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Bourne conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures set by senior management.
