I am purchasing a property for cash in Clent. I have lived for the previous 20 years in Clent. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Clent conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion properties with apparent issues can still reveal negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Clent should be able to give you some helpful guidance here.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Clent. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should phone your conveyancer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can get in touch with TSB who may be able to help.
My partner and I are selling our house in Clent and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Clent lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Clent. We have lived in Clent for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 Clent differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Clent come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Clent tend to 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 Clent or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Clent is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Clent are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Clent 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 Clent 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 property.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Clent. I've land on a site which seems to have the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all the legals done via web that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
