Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fawley

Is it realistic for conveyancing in Fawley to be completed in under 10 days?

Where the seller is applying pressure for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and insight. It is even conceivable that they may have conducted otherhomes in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Fawley conveyancing firm. Second, ensure that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that just under twenty per cent of Fawley conveyancing deals are delayed or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the buying process being delayed by as much as three weeks. It is believed that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales every year. Most Fawley conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.

The Fawley conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Fawley have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my previous Fawley lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What should be my next steps?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.

I require fast conveyancing in Fawley as I am faced with pressure to sign on the dotted line in less than one month. Thankfully I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

If.Given you are not obtaining a mortgage you are at free not to do searches although no lawyer would suggest that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Fawley the following are examples of what can arise and adversely impact future saleability: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

I am purchasing my first flat in Fawley benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have been advised by a few selling agents in Fawley to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above a competitor’s?

We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Fawley. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Fawley - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I purchased a basement flat in Fawley, conveyancing was carried out in 1996. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Fawley with over 90 years remaining are worth £170,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2102

With 78 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £7,600 and £8,800 plus costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
