How does conveyancing in Kenley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kenley contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Kenley usually purchase 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 Kenley or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Kenley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kenley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Kenley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kenley may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Am I best advised to instruct a Kenley conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can deal with the legal work but they are based over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a high street Kenley conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were happy that should trump using an unfamiliar Kenley conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
Are Kenley conveyancing solicitors duty bound by the Law Society to issue clear conveyancing costs?
Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are specific rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be interpreted as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, nevertheless, represent the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Kenley or across England and Wales.
