Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Childwall

we are a couple who are purchasing a 2 bedroom flat in Childwall with a loan from Clydesdale.We use our Childwall conveyancing solicitor but Clydesdale informed us he's not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Clydesdale panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale

My partner and I are intent on selling our house in Childwall and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Childwall. Having lived in Childwall for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)

How does conveyancing in Childwall differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Childwall approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Childwall tend to 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 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 Childwall or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Childwall is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Childwall are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Childwall you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Childwall 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 property.

In sourcing the internet for the term cheap conveyancing in Childwall it shows results of many conveyancerslocally. How do I determine which is the right conveyancing solicitor for me?

The best method of seeking the right conveyancer is via personal referral, so enquire of friends and relatives who have purchased a property in Childwall or the reputable estate agent or financial adviser. Fees for conveyancing in Childwall differ, so it's advisable to request a minimum of four costs illustrations from varying types of solicitors. Be sure to seek confirmation that the charges are assured not to increase.

We are about to acquiring a flat in Childwall. Could our conveyancer have our transaction price confidential from sites such as Zoopla. How can this be achieved ?

HMLR by statute are bound to reveal price sold data on the official title for domestic properties nationwide including premises in Childwall. The register of ownership is an open document, so HMLR would be breaking the law excluded certain properties such as the property in Childwall.

In essence you can make a request of HMLR to hide the price paid data yet the response will be in the negative.
