Having sold my house in Fairford last May but my buyer keeps SMS messaging me complaining that his lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your solicitor should send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. If applicable, your lawyer must also confirm that the mortgage has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Fairford.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Fairford 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
You no longer need to have the physical original deeds to prove you own the land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
How does conveyancing in Fairford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Fairford approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Fairford typically acquire 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 Fairford or who has acted in the same development.
