I am assisting my niece sell her flat in Bridport. Will the conveyancing solicitor order an energy assessment or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates became a compulsory part of moving property. An EPC must be commissioned before the property is put on the market. It is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms normally arrange. If you are instructing a Bridport conveyancing lawyer they might be able to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with reputable local providers
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Bridport. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Bridport and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bridport. Having lived in Bridport for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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)
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bridport is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Bridport are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bridport you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bridport 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.
Is it best to use a Bridport conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can execute the conveyancing however his firm is located a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Bridport conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were impressed that must trump using an unknown Bridport conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
