Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dursley

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Dursley? Is this really warranted?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. If you are unwilling to provide ID verification documents, your lawyer would not be able to accept instructions from you.

I am helping my mother sell her flat in Dursley. Will the solicitor order the energy assessment or should I organise this?

Following the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was kept a compulsory part of selling a house. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned before the property is marketed. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Dursley conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established Dursley providers

I am buying a property in Dursley. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Bank of Ireland be concerned?

Given that your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Dursley.

I have instructed a Dursley conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Dursley surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

What can a local search tell me about the house I am buying in Dursley?

Dursley conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company such as Xpress Legal The local search plays an important role in many a Dursley conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search will supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic headings.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Dursley I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dursley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Your search tool is useful but there are many lawyers listed near Dursley being on the lender conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our mortgage company?

We do not recommend specific Dursley firms as the right Dursley conveyancing firm for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Dursley knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. Before you appoint your lawyer we advise you to speak to two or three of the the firms listed to gain comfort as to which one is right for you..
