Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Drybrook

At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Drybrook and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?

If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Drybrook you are invited in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, 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 an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Drybrook)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Will my solicitor be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Drybrook.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Drybrook. There are those who purchase a house in Drybrook, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Drybrook. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also carry out an environmental report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.

How does conveyancing in Drybrook differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Drybrook contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Drybrook tend to purchase 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 conveyancers 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 Drybrook or who has acted in the same development.
