We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Bournemouth recommended by you but stumbled across some other quotes on the internet look cheaper – why is this?
There are numerous conveyancers offering theoretically looks to be very low prices. We would urge you to give due consideration as to how much you respect your own move to want to take 'cheap' risks concerning the quality of the legal work. Many of them accentuate a low quote as a headline but plant supplemental charges in the small print..
My partner and I are selling our house in Bournemouth and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Bournemouth conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bournemouth. We have lived in Bournemouth for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 sickness)
I am buying a new build flat in Bournemouth. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bournemouth
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Bournemouth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bournemouth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bournemouth 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 Bournemouth 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.
My cousin has recommend that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Bournemouth. Do I follow his guidance?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Bournemouth conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek feedback from friends or family who have used the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.
A conveyancing company handled my conveyancing in Bournemouth seven years past and was holding my deeds but has since been shut down – What steps do I now take to get hold of them?
Deeds, as such, no longer exist as the majority of properties in Bournemouth are archived electronically at Land Registry. If you need to show evidence of proprietorship or are selling or refinancing your conveyancing practitioner can obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
