My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Clevedon. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?

Given that you have now exchanged you should instruct a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you now have a fast approaching a drop dead date to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property will ordinarily have an associated legal pack. This should include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold property the auction pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You need to hand this to the lawyer working for you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are organised to complete on the on the contractual date .

We are due to move home in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Clevedon. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent but this can only occur after the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Clevedon or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Clevedon.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Clevedon. I have a mortgage agreed with Virgin Money. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I am selling our property in Clevedon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Clevedon conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Clevedon. Having lived in Clevedon for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. 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 illness)

How does conveyancing in Clevedon differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Clevedon come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Clevedon tend to acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Clevedon 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 two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Clevedon is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Clevedon are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Clevedon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clevedon 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.

I was recommended by a few selling agents in Clevedon to choose a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t give any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
