We opted for a Caister On Sea based firm for our conveyancing in Caister On Sea recently. Looking through the small print I seeI am on the hook for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or select a web based solicitor practice promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Caister On Sea?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to neutralise the transactions that abort. You should be mindful that such offerings tend not to cover expenditure for instance Caister On Sea conveyancing search charges.
Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Caister On Sea?
If you are buying a property in Caister On Sea your lawyer will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the total price then this should be required shortly in advance of contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Caister On Sea. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing to do is e-mail the solicitor and ask them if they can act for the lender. Alternatively please get in touch with Coventry Building Society who may be able to assist.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Caister On Sea conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Caister On Sea.
How does conveyancing in Caister On Sea differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Caister On Sea approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Caister On Sea typically buy the real estate, 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 Caister On Sea or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Caister On Sea is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Caister On Sea are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Caister On Sea you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Caister On Sea may decide 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.
