Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Parson Cross

Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Parson Cross who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?

The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. Where you are prepared to expend time comparing quotes you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm offered you maycome to rue opting for an an untested solicitor. Don't forget to check the conveyancer can also act for Nationwide Building Society.

How does conveyancing in Parson Cross differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Parson Cross come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Parson Cross usually buy 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 Parson Cross or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Parson Cross before instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Halifax. If you call us we can look into this further with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Parson Cross. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Parson Cross especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Parson Cross.
