Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chellaston

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Chellaston is more expensive?

The conveyancing fees for a leasehold property in Chellaston is inevitably more expensive when contrasted to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is because there is an amount of extra investigations required in communicating with the freeholder and managing agents to collate the information about whether the rent and maintenance fee have been paid and whether there are any significant expenditure in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for delay in Chellaston conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Chellaston.

I used Action Conveyancing several years past for my conveyancing in Chellaston. I now require my file but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

You should contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracing your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Chellaston of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously hired, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

How does conveyancing in Chellaston differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Chellaston approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Chellaston tend to buy 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 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 Chellaston 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 was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Chellaston is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Chellaston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chellaston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chellaston may determine 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.

How do I use your search tool to select a conveyancing practitioner in Chellaston on the approved list for my mortgage?
