After what seems like an age a mortgage offer from Nationwide for the refinancing of my single bedroom garden flat is due any day now. Can you recommend a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Gaydon?
You have come to the wrong site to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing in Gaydon. Our aim is to provide value for money conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing companies seducing you with £100 conveyancing in Gaydon. In your best case scenario, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst you will end up being stung for additional fees and still not end up with the service you were hoping for.
Do I need to pop into the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Gaydon so that I can attend their offices when needed.
Nowadays conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders conduct all of the communications via Royal Mail, e-mail or over phone calls. This enables them to carry out the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in the country. That being said you should see if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if just in case this is required.
I am intent on selling our house in Gaydon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Gaydon conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Gaydon. Having lived in Gaydon for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
Me and my brother own a renovated Georgian property in Gaydon. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Gaydon and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Gaydon prior to retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a loan on such a premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Gaydon. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Gaydon to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
Am I right to be wary about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Gaydon conveyancing company?
As with many service providers, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all put forward conveyancers to retain. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most banks specify a panel list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
