Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of stalling in Pewsey conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Pewsey.
The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Pewsey 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to hold title original deeds to evidence that you own the land or property, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
How does conveyancing in Pewsey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Pewsey approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Pewsey typically buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Pewsey or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey done on a house in Pewsey prior to instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Pewsey. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in Pewsey. I have chance upon a web site which looks to be the ideal solution If it is possible to get all this stuff done via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Pewsey garden flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Pewsey conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Pewsey do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
