Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Helsby

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Helsby?

We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.

Will our solicitor be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Helsby.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Helsby. Some people will purchase a property in Helsby, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be initiated by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Helsby. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. The buyer’s solicitors will also conduct an environmental search. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.

How does conveyancing in Helsby differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Helsby come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Helsby usually purchase 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 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 Helsby or who has acted in the same development.
