Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Oakwood

Me and my partner are due to exchange on the purchase of a house in Oakwood but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the vendor in the sum of £2k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Skipton are not allowing this. Why were they notified?

Your solicitor that is on a Skipton approved list is required to advise Skipton of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Oakwood.

How does conveyancing in Oakwood differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Oakwood come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Oakwood typically 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 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 Oakwood or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Oakwood is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Oakwood are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Oakwood you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Oakwood 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 premises.
