We are buying a property in Fakenham. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we will need to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Fakenham. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Fakenham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Nottingham as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Fakenham. Do we need to appoint a nearby Fakenham solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Nottingham would not normally appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Fakenham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Fakenham approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Fakenham typically 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Fakenham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Fakenham is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Fakenham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Fakenham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Fakenham may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
