Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chathill

As a first time buyer what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Chathill?

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Chathill or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the house moving process. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and even potentially the bank. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Chathill should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone must be blamed for the process taking so long. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer ahead of all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Chathill. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Bank of Ireland to clarify?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Chathill and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

How does conveyancing in Chathill differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Chathill contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Chathill 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 Chathill or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Chathill is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Chathill are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chathill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chathill 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 residence.

Given that I will soon spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a two bedroom apartment in Chathill I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thehome move ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
