I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for stalling in Bournemouth conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Bournemouth.

How does conveyancing in Bournemouth differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bournemouth come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Bournemouth tend to buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Bournemouth or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Bournemouth is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

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

Would local authority consent be needed to convert a single dwelling into multiple flats in Bournemouth? This has been done to a property opposite to my house in Bournemouth and was ignorant of it happening until the works were done.

Planning Permission yes. Building Regulations yes.
