Please help. My Chipping Sodbury lawyer is advising me that he has toorder Chipping Sodbury conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Virgin Moneyapproved lawyer panel. Is this really necessary?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a home loan with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Chipping Sodbury conveyancing searches.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Chipping Sodbury. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Given that you are now to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you should retain a conveyancing lawyer soon as you are faced with a pending a drop dead date to complete the deal. Every auction property will have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your conveyancer will need. In the case of leasehold premises the legal papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You must pass this on to the solicitor working for you ASAP. Do make sure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Intending to buy a apartment in Chipping Sodbury. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Chipping Sodbury property lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Chipping Sodbury agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Chipping Sodbury. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Coventry BS started?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Chipping Sodbury conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Coventry BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for obstruction in Chipping Sodbury conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Chipping Sodbury 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to look for all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or sell your property without a hitch.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Chipping Sodbury is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Chipping Sodbury are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chipping Sodbury you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Chipping Sodbury 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.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Chipping Sodbury. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Chipping Sodbury - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
