My IFA requires my Godstone lawyer’ panel member for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have tried my local Godstone branch but they cant find it on their system.
Have you tried speaking to your Godstone conveyancing practitioner about this?. They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.
In the event thatI was to acquire a simple residential propertyin Godstone mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Godstone?
Any savings you would make will be isolated to the costs for searches. Your solicitor is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the vendors property lawyer, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a charge but it won't be meaningful.
We're in Godstone, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Coventry BS , and our lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
My friend recommended that if I am purchasing in Godstone I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Godstone conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Godstone around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Godstone Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Godstone Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Godstone.
How does conveyancing in Godstone differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Godstone contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Godstone typically buy the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Godstone or who has acted in the same development.
