There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Grove Park but how do I know who's good?
Do not opt for the cheapest Grove Park conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Coventry BS are being problematic. The Grove Park solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Our offer on a property in Grove Park has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Grove Park. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Yorkshire BS going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Grove Park conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to proceed with searches.
How does conveyancing in Grove Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Grove Park approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Grove Park usually buy 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 conveyancers 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 Grove Park or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Grove Park is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Grove Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Grove Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Grove Park may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
