I decided to go with a Huddersfield based firm for our conveyancing in Huddersfield last week. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are liable for fees even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or appoint a web based solicitor practice offering no move no charge conveyancing in Huddersfield?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to offset those conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these deals rarely cover disbursements e.g. Huddersfield conveyancing search costs.
We were just about to sign contracts for a ground floor flat in Huddersfield. We encountered a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Chelsea Building Society expires on 25/4/2025 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 29/4/2025. Can one prolong the loan expiry date?
The person best placed to address this issue is your solicitors who is in a position to assess whether they should be discussing with the mortgage broker, owner’s solicitors, property agents or conceivably all three taking into account what has gone on in your conveyancing as of today.
What will a local search inform me about the property my wife and I buying in Huddersfield?
Huddersfield conveyancing often commences with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance Xpress Legal The local search plays a central part in many a Huddersfield conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search will reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject headings.
How does conveyancing in Huddersfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Huddersfield approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Huddersfield usually acquire the site, 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 Huddersfield or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Huddersfield
We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Huddersfield conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will earn the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
