Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Felpham

Is it realistic for conveyancing in Felpham to be completed within 3 weeks?

In a situation where you are under pressure to exchange we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Felpham conveyancing lawyer. Second, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is estimated that just under twenty per cent of Felpham conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being frustrated by almost 21 days. It is said that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Many Felpham conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.

Can I be sure that the Felpham conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Felpham seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.

My wife and I are in the process of viewing flats in Felpham and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a home loan with Bank of Ireland.

It would be advisable to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Felpham. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Felpham?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Felpham. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

How does conveyancing in Felpham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Felpham approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Felpham tend to 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 used to new build conveyancing in Felpham or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Felpham ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on such a house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Felpham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a property in Monmouth but reside in Felpham. My solicitor (who is 250 miles from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Felpham to witness and place their company stamp on the document?

strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Felpham
