Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Clifton

At what point does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Clifton and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?

Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Clifton you are invited in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Clifton)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when acquiring a property in Clifton? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some house owners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Clifton?

Unless a prior purchase of the premises completed post 12 October 2013 you can expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Clifton to continue to suggest a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.

How does conveyancing in Clifton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Clifton contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Clifton tend to purchase 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Clifton or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Clifton I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Clifton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Clifton and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Clifton. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Clifton area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Clifton. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

I am searching for Clifton conveyancing quotes online. Can I be sure that all the Clifton law firms that are identified on your site are on the lender conveyancing panel?

The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices listed on our site have assured us via an online form that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Clifton conveyancing solicitor being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is not accurate.
