Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Coleshill

I am buying a property mortgage free in Coleshill. I have been living for the last Seventeen years in Coleshill. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a home loan, then the vast majority of the Coleshill conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of guidance. Do take into account; if you are going to dispose of the house at a future date, it will likely be be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion houses with day to day issues can still reveal negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Coleshill will be able to give you some constructive advice here.

At what point does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Coleshill and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?

Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Coleshill you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Coleshill)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

We're in Coleshill, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Co-operative , and our solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Coleshill house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Coleshill.

How does conveyancing in Coleshill differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Coleshill approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Coleshill usually 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Coleshill or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Coleshill is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Coleshill are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Coleshill you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Coleshill 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.
