Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Buckinghamshire

We hired a Buckinghamshire based lawyer for my conveyancing in Buckinghamshire yesterday. Going through the Terms it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for fees even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or select an internet firm offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Buckinghamshire?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset the cases that fail to complete. Also remember that such arrangements tend not to protect you from outlay such your Buckinghamshire conveyancing search fees.

I am purchasing a terrace house in Buckinghamshire. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property include enquiries to see if these alterations are allowed?

Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Buckinghamshire can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain works or require the permission of a 3rd party. Many additions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

My husband and I are in the process of viewing apartments in Buckinghamshire and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a solicitor in place at this point? I am planning to take a home loan with TSB.

You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. As you are getting a mortgage with TSB, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Buckinghamshire. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Shortly after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Santander conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Santander panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

How does conveyancing in Buckinghamshire differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Buckinghamshire come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Buckinghamshire 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 conveyancers 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 Buckinghamshire or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Buckinghamshire is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Buckinghamshire 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 Buckinghamshire you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Buckinghamshire 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.

I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Buckinghamshire to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your services over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to offer any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I am 14 days into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Buckinghamshire. I am not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?

A lawyer would need to be very bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has your mortgage offer been issued? In the event that it has you must inform them of the replacement solicitor and have the offer are re-sent. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid added charges and complications. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors. Our search tool can help you find a bank approved solicitor for your home move in Buckinghamshire
