Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Downton

I am planning on selling our property in Downton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Downton lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Downton. Having lived in Downton for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 illness)

The deeds to our house are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Downton 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title original deeds to prove you own the land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Downton. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Downton

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Downton prior to appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a loan on such a premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements from Nationwide. If you contact us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Downton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Downton to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

My step-father has urged me to appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Downton. Should I choose my own conveyancer?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Downton conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to seek recommendations from friends or family who have previously instructed the solicitor you're contemplating using.

Developers have suggested I use a solicitor and I've sought a quote from them. They are almost £400 cheaper than my own Downton lawyer. Should I use them?

Developers often have lists of conveyancers who are quick and who know the seller’s documentation and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a developer won't suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they need an exchange inside a month. The argument for not opting for the recommended solicitor is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should keep with your high street Downton property lawyer.
