My best friend’s mother is a conveyancing practitioner. I am hopeful that I will receive friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what level of figure should I be expecting for conveyancing in Dunchurch?
It’s prudent to look for multiple conveyancing estimates. Make use of our comparison tool on this page. The amounts do vary but the service one can expect differ between law firms as is true with most professions.
We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Dunchurch and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
The solicitor is duty bound to check with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

How does conveyancing in Dunchurch differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Dunchurch come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Dunchurch usually 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 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 Dunchurch or who has acted in the same development.

What makes a Dunchurch lease unmortgageable?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Dunchurch. All leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Insurance obligations A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building
You will encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. HSBC Bank, Bank of Scotland, and Barclays Direct all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
