We opted for a Ingatestone based solicitor for our conveyancing in Ingatestone today. Going through the terms of engagement I seeI am responsible for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Ingatestone?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover the transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that such schemes rarely cover expenditure e.g. Ingatestone conveyancing search fees.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Ingatestone. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Ingatestone property lawyer having checked that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Ingatestone surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
UBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a house in Ingatestone has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will want to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Contact UBS or your broker and finalise any appropriate forms. UBS will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. UBS will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Ingatestone.

How does conveyancing in Ingatestone differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ingatestone approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Ingatestone tend to purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Ingatestone or who has acted in the same development.
