Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Broadstairs

We hired a Broadstairs based lawyer for my conveyancing in Broadstairs recently. Looking through the terms of engagement I seeI am responsible for costs even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or use a web based conveyancing company who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Broadstairs?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise those conveyances that fail to complete. Also remember that these arrangements generally do not protect you from expenditure by way of example Broadstairs conveyancing search expenses.

My lawyer in Broadstairs is not on the The Mortgage Works Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the The Mortgage Works panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

The limited options open to you here include:

  1. Complete the purchase with your preferred Broadstairs lawyers but The Mortgage Works will need to retain a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total legal charges and cause frustration.
  2. Choose an alternative solicitor to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are Convince your solicitor to use their best endeavours to join the The Mortgage Works conveyancing panel

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Broadstairs. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Broadstairs?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Broadstairs. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Broadstairs. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve enquiries to determine if these works are prohibited?

Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Broadstairs will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of works or require the permission of another owner. Many extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Virgin Money as we intend to carry out alterations to our property in Broadstairs. Are we obliged to select a local Broadstairs solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Virgin Money would not normally appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I require quick conveyancing in Broadstairs as I am faced with pressure to complete inside 3 weeks. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are are a mortgage free buyer you have the choice not to have searches conducted although no law firm would suggest that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Broadstairs the following are examples of issues that can arise and therefore impact market value: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

In surfing the web for the phrase conveyancing in Broadstairs it brings up many conveyancersin the area. How do I determine which is the right conveyancing solicitor for my move?

The preferential method of choosing a suitable conveyancer is via personal recommendation, so seek the guidance of friends and relatives who have bought a property in Broadstairs or the local estate agent or mortgage broker. Fees for conveyancing in Broadstairs vary, so it's advisable to secure a minimum of three estimates from different conveyancers. Be sure to obtain confirmation that the costs are guaranteed not to rise.

We are hoping to buy a repossessed property in Broadstairs and the vendor would like to complete within 28 days. Can a lawyer complete in this timeframe? Would it be better to select a local Broadstairs firm or an online firm that advertises to complete quickly?

Attend your Broadstairs shopping parade. Go in to 3 firms and request to talk to a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Explain your requirements and try and obtain a commitment on speed. Appoint the one that comes across as most genuine. Make sure to select a solicitor on the list of solicitors who can act for your lender.
