Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lees

We hired a Lees based lawyer for our conveyancing in Lees recently. Looking through the Terms I noteI am liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based solicitor practice advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Lees?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to neutralise those cases that do not go ahead. Dont forget that such promotions tend not to protect you from expenses such as Lees conveyancing search costs.

I am considering applying for a Kent Reliance mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Lees with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Kent Reliance will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

I have recentlyfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Lees for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Lees conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Lees differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Lees contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Lees usually acquire the real estate, 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 Lees or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Lees is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

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

I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Lees. I need to find out if they are listed on the lender's conveyancing panel. Could you assist?

It’s a good idea contact your conveyancer to check if they are on the bank's panel. Alternatively please call us and we can investigate and revert. Should the firm not be on the bank panel we can certainly arrange a specialist conveyancing solicitor in Lees on the approved list for your lender.
