Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Moss Nook

I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Moss Nook. Almost all the appartments are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Moss Nook?

If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Moss Nook conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Moss Nook.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Moss Nook?

You should check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Call the bank and check if they make available a monetary alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Moss Nook.

We are buying a flat in Moss Nook. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we have to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

How can we know in advance if a Moss Nook conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Moss Nook obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.

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 Moss Nook solicitor - who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS 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 Moss Nook 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.

We are intent on selling our house in Moss Nook and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Moss Nook. Having lived in Moss Nook for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

I completed on my apartment on 6 January and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Moss Nook said it would be formalised inside ten days. Are properties in Moss Nook particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Moss Nook registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in Moss Nook differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Moss Nook come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Moss Nook tend to purchase 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Moss Nook or who has acted in the same development.
