My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Griffithstown and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Griffithstown lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Griffithstown. We have lived in Griffithstown for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Griffithstown differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Griffithstown contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Griffithstown tend to acquire the land, 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 Griffithstown or who has acted in the same development.
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Griffithstown from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Griffithstown can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate can be a time consuming process and slows down many a Griffithstown conveyancing transaction. Where a duplicate share is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic rather than unsettled. The majority of freeholders or Management Companies in Griffithstown charge for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management information sought on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Griffithstown.
