If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Gower what would it be?
Do not opt for the lowest Gower conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
How can we know in advance if a Gower conveyancing solicitor on the TSB panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Gower seeking recommendations is a sensible 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 advise that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Gower. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Gower lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
Should my conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Gower.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Gower. There are those who buy a house in Gower, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Gower. The standard property information forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the seller to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading answer. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro report. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.
I decided to have a survey done on a property in Gower prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can investigate further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Gower. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I was recommended by a few selling agents in Gower to find a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers rather than another?
We don’t give any commission for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
