It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your house and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee.

How does conveyancing in Kirkby differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Kirkby contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Kirkby typically 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kirkby or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Kirkby is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Kirkby are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kirkby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kirkby may determine 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.

Taking into account that I will soon part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in Kirkby I wish to talk to a conveyancer concerning thetransaction before instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in Kirkby.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Kirkby should be the figure that you end up paying.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Swansea but live in Kirkby. My conveyancer (approximately 200 kilometers awayrequires that I execute a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Kirkby to witness this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Kirkby based
