Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kempsey

We instructed a Kempsey based solicitor for my conveyancing in Kempsey last week. Reviewing the official terms of business I notewe are on the hook for fees even if the movefalls through. Would I be best advised to instruct an internet conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Kempsey?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to offset those cases that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such schemes generally do not protect you from disbursements such your Kempsey conveyancing search expenses.

When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Kempsey and am I required to be at the lawyers office?

If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Kempsey you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Kempsey)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I have been told by my conveyancer that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Kempsey conveyancing?

The appropriate level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

We previously selected conveyancing lawyers based in Kempsey on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Kempsey property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Coventry BS panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Kempsey solicitor - who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Clydesdale will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Clydesdale 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 Kempsey 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.

How does conveyancing in Kempsey differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Kempsey contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Kempsey 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 Kempsey or who has acted in the same development.

Hoping to buy a property located in Kempsey and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Kempsey. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Kempsey area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Kempsey. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

My uncle has urged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Kempsey. Should I choose my own property lawyer?

There are no two ways about it the best way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the solicitor you're considering.
