Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fairwater

Why would I use a Fairwater conveyancing practice given that web based conveyancers are cheap by comparison?

To take your time to find scrutinise conveyancing costs in Fairwater and you should seek an affordable estimate but don’t be focused with getting the cheapest Fairwater conveyancer. Appointing the right conveyancer can mark the distinction between a smooth and a stressful house move. You need to ensure that you have expert advice from a specialist conveyancer.

Finally the sale completed on my house in Fairwater last July but the buyer keeps whats apping me complaining that their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

After completion of your sale your solicitor should send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your solicitor must also evidence that the mortgage has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Fairwater.

We are downsizing from our property in Fairwater and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Fairwater lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Fairwater. We have lived in Fairwater for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Fairwater for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Fairwater conveyancing specialists.

I was pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Fairwater to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over a competitor’s?

We refuse to make any commission for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I work for a long established estate agent office in Fairwater where we have witnessed a few flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Fairwater conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
