Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Burwash

My partner’s sister is a conveyancing practitioner. I expect that I can be offered friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Burwash?

Do compare pricing. Make use of our search tool on this page. Whilst estimates will vary but service levels do are distinct between conveyancers as is the case with most professions.

I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a Burwash based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company and ask if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Burwash.

My partner and I are intent on selling our home in Burwash and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Burwash lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Burwash. We have lived in Burwash for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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)

How does conveyancing in Burwash differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Burwash contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Burwash usually purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Burwash or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Burwash ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not issue a loan on such a home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can look into this further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Burwash. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

My property lawyer in Burwash has requested from me proof of ID documents asserting that this forms part of his obligations as a solicitor on the lender Conveyancing panel. Am I being spun a yarn?

Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not unique to conveyancing in Burwash
