As someone not used to the Hartlebury conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me for the home moving process in Hartlebury
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Hartlebury or throughout Worcestershire is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, estate agent and even potentially a lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Hartlebury an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to protect you.

We are selling our apartment in Hartlebury. Does my solicitor have to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
How does conveyancing in Hartlebury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hartlebury contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Hartlebury usually 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hartlebury or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Hartlebury I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hartlebury suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Hartlebury to choose a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above another?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My father-in-law has recommend that I use his conveyancers in Hartlebury. Should I use them?
No doubt the ideal way to find a conveyancing lawyer is to have recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the firm you're are thinking of instructing.
