Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Irchester

I am purchasing a house for cash in Irchester. I have resided for the last dozen years in Irchester. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Irchester conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it will be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still reveal unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Irchester will be able to give you some constructive advice in this regard.

Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Irchester?

If you are buying a property in Irchester your solicitor will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the purchase price then this will be asked for immediately before contracts are exchanged. The final balance that is needed should be transferred a couple of days prior to the day of completion.

How does conveyancing in Irchester differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Irchester contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Irchester 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 used to new build conveyancing in Irchester or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Irchester I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Irchester in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I am four weeks into a leasehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Irchester. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

They would have to be really bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you must advise them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are issued to the new lawyers. The conveyancer needs to be on the banks panel to avoid supplemental costs and complications. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers.

My 20yr old son is just in the process of moving home, he had his mortgage in principle. One the seller agreed the offer on the flat we rang the lender to issue the formal offer. We were shocked to discover that mortgage lenders do not accept all lawyer, they need to be on their approved list, is this right?

Lenders normally imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Irchester conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
