Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bruton

Me and my fiance are purchasing a ground floor flat in Bruton. My Solicitor is not on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to continue with my Bruton conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the lender approved list?

You must have a solicitor to deal with the formalities when you take out a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancer will conduct all the appropriate legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. One can select a Bruton lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the lender solicitor panel supplemental costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your lawyer has not previously sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

How does conveyancing in Bruton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bruton come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Bruton typically purchase 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 Bruton or who has acted in the same development.
