In the event thatI was to purchase a freehold housein New Milton mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in New Milton?
The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the New Milton conveyancing searches. A solicitor is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the vendors lawyer, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage however it won't be significant.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in New Milton what would it be?
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest New Milton conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
I am helping my mother sell her property in New Milton. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was maintained a mandatory element of moving property.

My husband and I are spending time looking at apartments in New Milton and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a mortgage with Lloyds.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Lloyds, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in New Milton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in New Milton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in New Milton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in New Milton usually acquire the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in New Milton or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. New Milton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in New Milton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in New Milton 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 New Milton may decide 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.
