Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Limbury?
If you are buying a property in Limbury your lawyer will ask you put them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. When the deposit is payable against the sale price then this will be required immediately prior to contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a few days prior to the completion date.
I am downsizing from our property in Limbury and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Limbury. We have lived in Limbury for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Limbury. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Limbury is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Limbury are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Limbury you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Limbury 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.
