Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Much Hadham

My wife and I are purchasing a house in Much Hadham. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we will need to deposit funds into their account. What protection do 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.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Much Hadham. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Much Hadham?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Much Hadham. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I have a mortgage with TSB for my property in Much Hadham. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?

TSB must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. It may be that TSB will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel lawyer.

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Much Hadham conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Much Hadham.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Much Hadham 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to establish that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.

How does conveyancing in Much Hadham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Much Hadham come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Much Hadham usually purchase 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 conveyancers 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 Much Hadham or who has acted in the same development.

Should I be wary about brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Much Hadham conveyancing firm?

As with lots of service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous people with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all put forward lawyers to choose. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of lenders specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.

My wife and I intend to acquire our 1st home in Much Hadham. Conveyancing lawyer has been instructed. The financial consultant pointed out that a survey is not necessary as the property is only 17 years old.

As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is over ten years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. They will highlight any apparent problems and recommend additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any signs of problems seek a full structural survey.
